Nosotr_s seremos

—————————————–

From my experience as a body in transit, I have inevitably walked towards the abandonment of the species. Because experiments with gender identity and anatomical sex dislocate recognizable with an identifiable genre. The places of production of the human have been framed from border with the animal, legitimizing innumerable exclusions, but on the other hand detonating the possibilities of invention and reconfiguration of the borders in relation to other life forms. Thus, I believe that today alliances are urgent between different militancy so that other winds blow in the world. “Nosotr_s Seremos”, speculate the embryonic state of a new species, where its desire for the dilute of the borders between identity, gender and animality; It springs in the middle of a original broth.

Presagio

Presage

—————————————–

Juliana Zuluaga, Tiagx Vélez

—————————————–

The roaring of the beast rises from the deepest burrows of the Earth. Thunders, winds and rivers foretell the friction of times. The ecosystems that have reigned for hundreds of years are tottering. A short film made in collaboration with trans-animal artist Analú Laferal.

Baúles de recuerdos

Trunks of memories

—————————————–

Antonia Bello

—————————————–

There is a feeling that I cannot get out of my head, like a dream that repeats since my childhood, indecipherable, but poignant. The feeling that something is wrong, misplaced by a few millimeters. Maybe a memory that begins to flow and soon retracts, to then suffocate my thoughts again.

During the Chorographic Commission´s journeys, an enterprise held between president José Hilario López Government and geographer Agustin Codazzi where both parties agreed to draw the General Map of New Granada and its provinces, a team traveled documenting the territory and people´s costumes, facing difficulties which lead to the Commission’s anticipated end. Recalling the artists’ epic work, this audiovisual installation and fiction animated short draws upon Ramón Torres Méndez’s Viajeros tolimenses painting. Built on a reinterpretation of found footage and quadraphonic sound, it rekindles the journeys of painter Manuel María Paz, geographer Agustín Codazzi, botanic José Jerónimo Triana and helper Carrasquel.

Oda a Marte

Ode to Mars

—————————————–

Marta Cabrera

—————————————–

A celebration of the trajectory of the planet Mars in the human imagination. Intermingling contemporary images of Mars with the engravings that illustrated French astronomer Camille Flammarion’s texts on the red planet (which he imagined endowed with an exuberant nature), as well as images and photographs of his séances, this animated film addresses the blurred boundaries between scientific thought, poetry and fantasy.

Una fricción que no detiene

Friction that doesn’t stop

—————————————–

Juan Pablo Gaviria

This project arises from the eviction of an antique store called KUNST UND CHAOS. The experience of its gradual disappearance, along with some other stores in the area, triggered questions and reflections about space-time, emptiness, uncertainty and distance. In times of confinement and pandemic, space-time notions have been the object of discussion and have fought not only in their physical interpretations, but also in their emotional dimensions. This sensitive character has opened the way to new ways of relating to dichotomies such as inside-outside, day-night or light-darkness. And it is due to these recurring concerns that have appeared rethinking about time and it’s configuration thanks to the perception of movement, a movement that thanks to its restriction has taken on other nuances. The images of the video show an experimental montage of the performative reading action that I carried out in front of the antique store. My voice is transmitted by means of a laser device that sends audible waves through the empty warehouse and is amplified on the other side of the showcases by means of another device that receives light waves. This action was carried out as a poetic gesture of reflection on space and the paradox of a confinement that brought with it the increase of emptiness.

La Soledad

The Solitude

—————————————–

Joseph Alexander Herrera

—————————————–

A farewell to a loved one. A greeting to the god she believes in. A conversation to ourselves. Remitent voices that read made up letters to familiar addresses. The Solitude is an audiovisual journey through a family of unknown people. Every room hides a life, a lie, a true.

La parábola de Saturno

Saturn’s parable

—————————————–

Ana Cristina Ayala

—————————————–

This is a short videoart piece that evokes melancholy as a sculptural and psychological power. It does so through gestures, narration, natural processes and colors that come together in the audiovisual language. On the one hand, the color palette is dark and, for the most part, stays between blues and blacks. The word melancholy was formerly used by medicine to designate black bile, which was the cause of sadness.On the other hand, it appeals to a narrative that reinterprets the death of Saturn (the god, among others, of melancholy) when the son kills him. Finally, this relates to a sculptural process whose gestures and atmospheres point to the drive of the uprising after melancholy: movement and rising water vapors. The mist after the rain. Hair, dead aspect of the human body, which rises according to the narrative.
