Coapa Heights
Javis

Demonios Juveniles
Director
Juvenile Devils is an assemblage of film fragments from different periods that Miguel Calderón had previously discarded. The video unveils a contin- uous editing process that gives cohesion to a series of apparently uncon- nected and fragmented images. In the artist's words, "It's an ode to the disillusionment of the 90s, to the disorientation caused by excessive tele- vision consumption that gave us the false illusion of a promising future that would never come". The piece also documents the way in which Miguel Calderón works, as he instinctively captures everyday situations and behaviors whose strange- ness often transcend socially accepted canons.
Camaleón
Director
Chameleon is an installation made up of a projection and a series of hangers-objects used by falconers to transport their falcons and on which they rest during the hunt-folded on the floor of the sals. In the film, Miguel Calderón follows the weights of Chameleon for 24 hours, a falconer who works at night as a bouncer in a bar in the south of Mexico City, and who by day goes hunting his falcon every night, with whom he has developed a relationship. Emotional bond is his closest bond with a reality far removed from the situations of extreme violence to which he has been exposed since childhood.
