ARE WE MONSTERS?
In Progress
We might as well admit right away: the original material has been lost, even its authors have been lost, all that remains is the wave of a hand, the back of a head, a pair of sunglasses guarding eyes that will never stop closing.
Preview
Arise (Zona)
EXP, 35mm transfered to Betacam, COL, NO sound, 10', 2009
Arise (Zona) comes from the feature film A Zona, by Sandro Aguilar and emerges up from all the cinematic dirtiness inherent to the filmic support. These images in the spoiled film, intended to emptiness and total forgetting, lead us to the ambiguity and indetermination between life and death, in which narrative and temporal logic are suspended.
