Vídeo de Um Minuto

A compilation film of historical footage of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath. The composition of this "lament" is based on historical film footage and photographs, further processed using special effects, which document the extent of the destruction caused by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945. This anti-war film, a documentary of atomic death without commentary, is given a character that is not only mournful but also accusatory by Penderecki's music "Threnos" with its provocative, even disturbing soundscape.

The scissor dance is a 16th-century magical-religious dance and ritual in which the dancers act as mediators between humans and deities. It originated in the Ayacucho, Apurimac, and Huancavelica regions and began to gain popularity in Lima in the 1980s, during the waves of migration from rural areas to the city.

In the Otomi worldview (an ethnic group from central Mexico), corn, or the wise seed, fell in the form of drops to fertilize the world. Their agricultural activity marks the ceremonial cycles. As an offering and expression of gratitude, tortillas are prepared and dyed with the natural dye of the muicle plant.

On November 22, 2015, a second round of the presidential elections was held in Argentina. Society was deeply polarized, and the candidate chosen as Cristina Kirchner's successor was not anyone's favorite, but the right-wing candidate, Mauricio Macri, was only three points behind. The ruling party seemed defeated, and in response to this urgency, a spontaneous civic campaign was organized in the streets, a last-ditch effort to prevent neoliberal policies from taking hold in the country. This is a record of what happened that day in the streets of Buenos Aires.

Beneath the skeleton, the flesh that rustles, turns and returns to our heads before rotting in silence. This is the story of this flesh. This surrealist narrative draws us into a darkened world of the unconscious. No matter how bizarre the spectacles we watch are, thanks to superb animation they flow smoothly and surely.
