Rather than giving a documentary account of these actions, Schwebel performs a formal and structural intervention into the role of documentation in securing memory. Through the novel, he displaces and fictionalises his own memories through inviting his sister, Shoshana Schwebel, to impersonate him and narrate his experience in a fictional first person, while the artist impersonates the memories of his former collaborator. This structure of authorial impersonation also engages with the premise of conducting a residency in the home of, and in the legacyof, artistic legend Tadeusz Kantor, whose own work deal powerfully with memory and trauma in the wake of the Holocaust in Poland.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Dream in Which I Am You\u003c/em\u003e is one fo several of Schwebel\u0026#39;s works involving impersonation, impostership, and memory.
