Man on the Moon

Focusing on the pivotal moments leading up to Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon, not as a triumphant celebration, but as the culmination of an arduous journey. We are placed inside the Apollo 11 lunar module, "Eagle," alongside Armstrong, as they navigate the final, tense moments before landing. The film interweaves the present, claustrophobic reality of the lunar module with fragmented flashbacks, revealing the personal sacrifices and relentless dedication that brought Armstrong to this extraordinary precipice.

Devotional to a Metaverse

This video follows the experiences of two subjects, the Indeterminate Being, and the Demediator. The video makes a case for each subject’s point of view, for instance, the Indeterminate Being claims, “mediation was my first protector,” while someone speaking on behalf of the Demediator states, “look how his actions have an observable impact on his world…he is the ideal, he is perfect.” The video uses multiple text-to-speech voices that claim authority, when in truth, there are no certain answers or obvious conclusions. Both the Indeterminate Being and the Demediator exist as contradictions, as precarious figures. Both hold a definitive opinion of our current contemporary existence, but both cave to its whims, immediately compromising their worldviews in service of the metaverse.

Heimat

Halfway between a documentary and an artistic installation, Heimat, starting from the creative fragmentation of the Last Letters from Stalingrad, a collection of letters written in December 1942 by German soldiers besieged in the Stalingrad sack, is a sensorial and universal investigation of that very mysterious object that is the memory of Home: a mysterious, elusive object, always on the verge of fading. In Heimat, the paste of old family films, brushstrokes of color and chemical residues of decomposing film coexist. A reality that becomes oneiric, almost hallucinatory.

Pilgrimage

A devotional love poem, a City Symphony. In 2011, Craig Baldwin drew me a map of the city of San Francisco. Over the years, the city became my spiritual home, and Craig became my mentor. In 2015 I rediscovered the map and decided to literalize it. For six months I walked the streets of San Francisco with a Bolex, clicking off frames, simulating the map, enacting every single circle, mark, straight line, etc… Part performance, part love letter, the film is a celebration of the City of my dreams. For Craig Baldwin.
