Experiencing Interruptions?

THE BLIND PHOTOGRAPHER

THE BLIND PHOTOGRAPHER is an 2D animation made of traditional techniques and opens the series “YOU NEITHER PAINT OR GIVE COLOR” begun in 2020.

The story depicts the daily routine of an old Cuban veteran, who spends his retirement taking pictures with his old camera.

The protagonist, blinded by his own story, personifies the changeover between the active past and the immobile present.
Behind his black photos, there is a hidden vertical world that history broke, to make the same horizon for everyone.

There is a symbolic link between the character and the tocororo, Cuba's national bird who is unable to live in captivity, and kills itself in its cage to escape, like the blind man in his daily life.
