The flight
John Melo / Colombia
El vuelo is a video-animation project that stems from a research on pre-Hispanic art, in it, I extract visual patterns that are repetitive in various Amerindian cultures and reconfigure them in a series of pieces that characterize birds, which represent a static metaphor of the shamanic flights that they performed with the ingestion of hallucinogenic plants and mushrooms. I am interested in approaching from my point of view what could have been the possible visions and sensations that these ancestral wise men had, generating a bridge between past and present.
