To stake a claim in the midst of change is to seize fragments of and piece together moving imagery that responds to the visual clutter disseminated by a city in transmutation.

A baby cries in the middle of a lush forest as milk pours over her naked body. The camera then follows the tube which is transporting the milk to the baby. The tube weaves through the rich forest floor to reveal the source of the nourishment. My aim is to create a contemporary allegory that brings together my personal experiences as a mother and a an esoteric journey that speaks to both shared ideas and mythologies around birthing and motherhood. I'm interested in the dualistic aspect of motherhood- the lushness of caring for a child while simultaneously enduring the physical and emotional struggles of what it means to be responsible for a life.

Mónica is, in theory, anything. Therefore, her portraits are born from the juxtaposition of sounds and of images taken from the audiovisual archive that is YouTube. Copyrights are neglected, the purposes of those who are neglected are usurped and (im)possible truths are tested. Thus, Mónica’s Portrait isn’t intended as an inflexible document – which informs and certifies –, but rather as an audiovisual montage able to suggest the inevitable and multiple identity of things: of sound, of image and of mankind.

Where the body becomes the site of the battle between Eros and Thanatos, between pain and pleasure between the informational explosion and an orgasm.

sadescription The Uninvited
3mn34   b/w   stéréo   2015   Argentina
by Laura Focarazzo
"The Uninvited" places the viewer in front of an anonymous, elusive face, a distorted representation of some of the ghosts that inhabit our unconscious. An observer / observed that sits in a state halfway between the real and the imagined, between remembering and forgetting, between life and death. This work invites viewers to immerse themselves in an abstract world, built by the only possible tool to shape the distortion.

by Gabriela Golder
Cerro Mariposa - Valparaiso -The remaining houses were these ones, not up there, but here. They looked nice, yes, but after the fire started all the rabbits that lived here perished. The fire was very high. It was as if the world was going to end.- The Chilean police claim that it was because of two birds. At 4pm on Saturday April 12, two birds fell on a power line crossing El Peral, on the outskirts of Valpariason. The wind was very strong and shook the cables. The birds were electrocuted. Sparks fell and ignited the pastures. The fire had begun. The south wind pushed the fire and the earth was burned.

Lanzarote, a volcanic island in the Canaries, was shaped during the 18th century by a series of eruptions. The island's mineral, semi-desertic landscapes preserve a memory of this history. In 2015, I traversed this area in search of a cataclysm. In this ravaged land, I saw the tentative beginnings of a return to life.

4mn12   color   stéréo   2015   Canada
by Lamathilde
When a state phantomizes a population, creating another reality. When history disfigures the face of truth. When my story meets another story. When women disappear without trace. While white and privileged, I witness a repetition of stories. When violence against women's bodies equals violence from the use of words. The bodies of those we do not want to see or hear. From my studio window, I look out and my life crosses theirs.
