This exhibition presents a selection of experimental videos by the Mexican philosopher Manuel DeLanda that deal centrally with the urban architectural language and the ontology of images. Although based on the disfigurement and reconfiguration of the visual and the aural, his works unleash a type of immersion that puts the merely spectator stay in crisis by showing the emergent character of the filmic work itself and the experience that it provokes when confronting it spatially. Just as his theoretical work is concerned with the origins of material forms, DeLanda's film deliveries provide a legacy that forces us to think about a contemporary life close to chaos and the implosion of material, social and virtual relationships.
