Director Statement

Photographic work of the skies of the Mérida State, Venezuela during the dark days and deep nights. Video test carried out in times of quarantine that reflects the loneliness that floods the souls of this city.

All Timelapses and Astro-Timelapse were shot photo-by-photo, one at a time, because the director doesn't have a remote camera shutter release.

Carried out during the COVID-19 quarantine in Venezuela.
