Durante varios meses, Francisca visitó las salas de espera de oncología y cuidados intensivos del Hospital Addenbrookes, donde invitó a los pacientes
a rememorar su viaje al hospital y, desde allí, los diferentes objetos que los conectaban con sus vidas personales. Grabó sus voces y los rastros que dejaron, que semejaban mapas de la memoria, mientras recordaban. Los collages están compuestos por textos fragmentados, transcritos de sus grabaciones con pacientes en entornos hospitalarios, que capturan momentos íntimos de la vida de los pacientes mientras esperan. Si bien las imágenes y el texto no ofrecen una narrativa literal, el significado emerge lentamente, de forma misteriosa y retardada.

For various months, Francisca went into Addenbrookes Hospital wards -particularly oncology and Intensive Care-where she invited patients to reminisce about their journey to the hospital and from there, the different objects that connected them to their personal lives. She recorded their voices and the traces they did -which resembled memory maps-while remembering. The collages are composed with fragmented texts—transcribed from her recordings with patients in hospital settings—which capture intimate moments of patients’ lives while waiting. Although images and text do not offer a literal narrative, meaning emerges slowly, in a mysterious and delayed form.
