Biodiscourse

I don't know how it started, I never quite do. It usually comes from a train of thought, a running dog out of my brain and within it's run it finds place in my
(each step i make out in the street contains infinite pieces of ideas that decide to grasp or not to memorize and many of them i lose for i still trust to much in my memory which i shouldn't anyway)
mouth and hands or somewhere physical to try to hold it memorable. The idea was about biographies.
The short story would start with someone choosing a stranger to write a biography on: the idea of the project was to detail the unknown parts of someone before that someone became public. In the end the person featuring the biography would never fulfill the potential and remain unknown – for whatever reason, more or less romantic.
More than the plot or story itself
(even history for all that matters)
, I meant to reflect on the importance or role of the biography and about it's relevance. And to play with the idea of document and documenting. Biography is to take out of context something and make it of public interest, like literature which is a text that when taken out of it's context still makes sense to a community
(just as my life is only important for the ones that surround me my closed and loved ones but it doesn't go any further than that for nothing i have achieved so far is of public interest)
. Writing the biography of the unknown is sitting side by side with a factless biography.
