The memory experience depends on the age of the individual or on a particular event that communicates the landscape and is imprinted upon the artist’s individual or collective memory.

Furthermore, I will compare Searle’s notions of the collective intentionality and the background of the social to Maurizio Ferraris’s (2) notions of a text as a replacement of the collective intentionality.
