Território Clandestino
Innocent nature walk leads to a discovery of the morbid nature of humans.
Short film by Takashi Makino
A corridor of an apartment is transformed into a claustrophobic and vertiginous vortex that swallows and imprisons you in an infinite fall through a mise en abyme: it’s a pure enclosure inside the image world, it’s the Descent into the Maelstrom.

A fragment of reality about a less affected part of the third world, and how it got to the moon.
Erkki Kurenniemi was arguably one of the first artists to propose or fantasise about a complete cultural surrender to cyber existence, and his entire career, covering such diverse fields as artificial intelligence, music, engineering, film, dance or rhetorics, testifies to this desire to escape the limits of the human body and transgress into a different dimension, bordering on techno-fetishism. In his 1964 short Electronics in the World of Tomorrow, Kurenniemi presents a slideshow of the most aseptic signs of technological imagination: diagrams, chips, machines, cold surfaces. But footage of human warmth also comes up - mostly in black and white, as if to give humans the status of a memory. Originally silent, the film was in this version endowed with a electronic music piece by Kurenneimi himself: a cold, aggressive soundtrack that could be said to present technology as a potentially menacing affair, although this is a reading that the director would certainly refute.
Night Stream, a short experimental film about rebirth and fertility, succinctly evokes the flow of tension and trance within the dream state.
No End was inspired by a poem I wrote over the course of six months. During this process, abstract images surfaced, subsided, and settled: eventually forming the foundation of a film. The result is a lyrical journey that explores the intersection of interconnectivity and the lived experience. The film includes an original soundtrack by Graham Stewart of Viosac.
By light, or lack thereof, and sound, or lack thereof, I’ve tried to disassociate and then return to find something strange in the most familiar.

Documentation of an hour-long performance in which the artist walks barefoot through the streets of Brixton, South London, with Dr. Martens boots tied to her ankles. The work was made in response to the Brixton's uprisings of 1981 and 1983 and in solidarity with Black communities.
