Out of Place
Director
An intense exploration of representation and territory, of questions about memory and identity. Once again, Aravena's gazes are divided between personal experience - represented here by family memories - and historical and political questions, which significantly broadens the images' field of significance. Using video resources to emphasize perceptions, associate content and expand her reflections on underlying issues, the artist multiplies her points of view using sophisticated language games.
