Experiencing Interruptions?

Climate disorder

This video performance is a kind of ritual, which refers to a new geological era, in which we are: the Anthropocene, due to the impact of human activities on the planet. Here a human action is personified that harms the waters, the seas and their living beings, due to the plastics that we discard. Ironically, we may need a being of medieval legends again, to detect the poisons in the waters and purify them. And unite nature and culture.

Director Statement

What interests us in video art is the content and experimentation of language. With this we reflect on the life of today, the inequality in society, the cry for the destruction of Nature, human manifestations and themes such as the dance of life, sleep, time and death. For this we experiment with images filmed for each video and mix them with the ones we catch in moments and places that attract us, retrieving them from the archive. Thus appear improbable images and paradoxical spaces that defy the most realistic, because the different times are united, playing with sizes, multiplications, transparencies or transpositions. The soundtrack is often the inspiration guide that structures the rhythm and the emotionality of the real and mental images, flowing mixed with drawings, installations and poems.
