Moe Satt projects starts from a reflection about the “88 uprising”: Moe Satt goes into what he thinks would remind him of the time, using some of his own memories, the artist does not recall much of what the times were like, apart from a vague memory. He however uses that same inability of lack of memory to derive his concept. Mainly showing collective memory rather than objective personal memories. In Fact this work is not about an historical happening, it doesn't want to tell a story, a fact, this work is a reflection about memory and how it works in our magma of subconscious. How it becomes collective and how abstract a real fact can become.
He uses a popular tune from the uprising and a documentary picture which he later edits and adds the song as a background song. What makes the whole song such an important aspect in this work is the use of a choir to sing the song, making it even more revolutionary.
