        A Day in the Bedroom of Laurie Evian

        Kostas Makrinos / Greece



        A 10-year-old girl, Laurie Evian, decides to stay locked in her room for a weekend and spend time with a video camera. Some months later, a relative finds the images and makes a film that represents his psyche in an abstract and minimalist way.

        another space

        Cecilia Rosso & Gustavo Valerga / Argentina



        In a forest of manzanillos (endemic species of Galapagos) inhabited by "animals" spectral scenes are superimposed, they seem timeless or vestigial, perhaps memories of a dream time. The gazes of the animals in the images evoke a certain tension and mystery, highlighting lights and shadows that can be sensed on this side of the screen, which is no longer a screen but a forest. A disturbing movement is veiled to us, as if only those animals could see and hear it, and they will indicate it to us in their looks and sounds.

        The cure

        Quinaya Qumir / Colombia



        The rituals of indigenous body painting require aesthetic-ritual intentions through the expressive lines that draw and materialize in the body the organization of the worldview, sensitivity and own values, closely related to the community; Likewise, these rituals reproduce forms of use of pigment-producing substances, substances that are both ritual and medicinal. Whoever understood these shapes on the skin as plain decoration does not see the overlapping intention of the healing act. The paint covers the skin and is the cure.

        Land of No Return

        Mauricio Gomez / Colombia



        Medellín is a non-place of contrasts and perplexities, where there are images that still remain unknown; Likewise, there are others where there is no trace of what was, among what is constantly evolving, or in other words, where time has not even left a trace; This paradoxical configuration of urban space and its imaginaries has molded this semblance —between attractive and singular— to such a degree that it propagates a distorted perception of our environment.

        Animal Cinema

        Emilio Vavarella / Italy



        Animal Cinema is a film made up of video clips of animals operating cameras. All cameras were stolen by animals acting autonomously. These video materials, downloaded from YouTube between 2012 and 2017, have been reorganized in Animal Cinema as a constant display of non-human ways of being. Although the videos jump from one animal kingdom to another, linking together sandy beaches, underwater worlds, rocky mountains, forests, skies, and urban environments, Animal Cinema attempts to hide all cuts and all human edits. Therefore, to see the body of the animal in action is to learn something about it, getting closer to the non-human structure of the world. Animal Cinema opens a window to forms of non-human perception that would naturally be alien to us. He asks us to relate to the animal, but does not explain how. It requires a constant change in perceptual registers, which need to quickly readapt to non-human perspectives to stay with the animal.

        City-Scape

        Gian Cruz & Claire Villacorta / Philippines



        City-scape is a continuous video, dance, performance collaboration that serves as a language intervention; a substitute for “the escaping city”. Cruz and Villacorta examine the notion of fleeting identities in relation to cities and bodies in relation to their hometown Manila and their respective historicities and contexts to the particular spaces with which they work. Play through an interesting point of view as City-Scape peers through a rare Asian male body (Cruz) through the lens of a female observer (Villacorta) as they play with aesthetics and dance as an act of resistance to transform their identities in light of the global and digital age, a constant transformation and something always in transition.

        Dark Sightings

        Camilo Hermida / Colombia



        Dark Sightings Explores the construction of three creatures and questions the generation of artificial territories, where the organic is represented by polygonal geometry. It invites the viewer to immerse themselves in digital and real environments, where the evolutionary process and the transformations of fragments of reality and fiction are modelled. The creation of the models is developed with 3D tools such as visual production that creatively reconstruct fiction and imagination. The representation of reality develops parallels of perception changes that we see in the real and digital world, as proposed by Hernández (2002). Fictional elements come to life, they do not exist, but they are a living part of the digital polygonal nature, creating an instability between the unreal and the real. He reflects on the poverty, insecurity and social inequality experienced by society and the great capitalism of the world, the relationship of real problems with technological life for the revolution and digital virtual development. Visual exploration results in graphics that complement the concept of three dimensional digital generations. The modeling of geometric figures with organic coatings, visualizes the invisible relationships of fantasy, imagination and perception of the viewer and their relationships with the environment.
