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.

    Institutional falsehood on the second Colombian Film Law (1566 of 2012). In 2003, the Colombian government launched a Film Law that created institutions and calls to support the production of feature films, boosting the audiovisual industry in the country. In 2012, it launched a second law, which according to http://locationcolombia.com (official portal of the initiative) allows: Colombia to offer a refund or consideration for films totally or partially shot in Colombia, of 40% of the value of the expenses made for cinematographic services and 20% of the value of the expenses made in cinematographic logistics services (hotels, food and transportation items). Most of the feature films made under this initiative focus on aspects such as violence, drugs, the exoticism of women and the landscape. This short film, in the manner of recovered material films, tries to give a critical sense to the publicity of the law and some feature films made under it.

    royal road

    Fernando Dominguez / Colombia



    An old proverb says "The landscape is carried inside", in a materialistic sense this proverb can be reread as "space is a human production". Both geography and art are human doings that have the ability to describe space. Neither of them is limited to the graph of it or to close it to a single way of understanding. This work, called “Camino real”, can be assumed as an exercise in the production of landscapes, or also as a work of artialization (as some geographers would define it), that is, the visual translation of a spatial practice.
