Climatic spasms

There are two choppy and mixed video-performance, on climate change, global warming, fires, plastics at sea and floods. We are in a new geological era: the Anthropocene, refers to the impact we produce on the planet with human activities. With irony, a being of medieval legends appears who represents the force of Nature, detects the dangers and warns us of our insanity to separate 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.
