Visiones desconocidas de Mar del Plata

A visual essay in expanded cinema constructed from found footage: fragments of home movies from trips to Mar del Plata, found on the street and in flea markets, alongside a kind of remake filmed three or four decades later in the same locations. The piece reflects on the use of the format, the perspective of the first amateur cameramen who went on vacation with their cameras, and the beginnings of home video recording.

Window Water Baby Moving

On a winter's day, a woman stretches near a window then sits in a bathtub of water. She's happy. Her lover is nearby; there are close ups of her face, her pregnant belly, and his hands caressing her. She gives birth: we see the crowning of the baby's head, then the birth itself; we watch a pair of hands tie off and cut the umbilical cord. With the help of the attending hands, the mother expels the placenta. The infant, a baby girl, nurses. We return from time to time to the bath scene. By the end, dad's excited; mother and daughter rest.
