If the heart is the muscle that never rests, the hands are not better off as the body’s laborers. They touch, hold, pick, and create, they bring things into existence. This film explores the relationship between art and labor in the most tactile of enterprises. Matter is present both in front of and inside the camera. In front we have ceramics, collectively mixed, molded, and shaped. Inside we have film (celluloid) collecting the light that comes from the world around ARROJALATIERRA. A film about making things that leave a trace in space and time. (Lucía Salas)

An echo is produced when a wave is reflected on a surface and returns to the emitter. This film performance works on the idea of an echo, through the transmission, repetition and synchronisation of images and sounds, creating a system of reverberations that transform the space into a hall of mirrors.

The echoes of Jorge Bonino resonate in the spaces he inhabited, and his presence becomes imaginable from the stories that tell it. A body that exploded into a thousand pieces scattered across territories and affections that speak of him as someone capable of turning life into an extraordinary game.

Next autumn farming will cease and all the sheep will be gone, but the landscape pushed up against the Arctic Ocean will continue to tell about that one Last Autumn.

mtDNA 1Ce hg is a landscape study, shot in northern Iceland at 16mm, approximately 400 feet long. This piece shows an environment stripped of the human figure, evoked only by its vestiges, apparently abandoned in the solitude of a barren terrain and an inclement climate. The title of the piece appeals an archaic link between who looks and the environment that crosses with a certain strangeness in capturing a small fragment of the history of the crossroads.
