Deliverance

Deliverance" is a short dance video that unfolds against the backdrop of a serene beach as the sun dips below the horizon. The story revolves around a couple entangled in tension and discord, using the powerful language of contact dance to express their emotions. As the dance begins, the couple moves gracefully yet with an underlying tension, conveying the complexities of their relationship. The choreography reflects the ebb and flow of emotions, mirroring the changing colors of the twilight sky. The declining sun acts as a metaphor for the waning connection between the two dancers. Through intricate movements and intimate contact, they explore the depths of their discord, creating a visually stunning and emotionally charged performance. Towards the end, the woman rises above the man, symbolizing her strength and resilience. As she stands tall, she begins to remove symbolic knives that represent the emotional wounds inflicted on her body.

The Blue Flower in the Land of Technology

“In the land of technology, the spectacle of immediate reality has become an untraceable blue flower” – Walter Benjamin’s words guide and haunt Albert García-Alzórriz in his rigorous dissection of the relationship between medicine and image. With precise vision and painstaking composition, the director offers three variations to reflect upon the relationship between the human body, medical technology and aesthetic representation. The camera crosses the sterilised space of the hospital, revealing a disturbing contiguity between the perspectives of machines and humans, the handiwork of surgeons and that of robots. In a way that’s both fascinating and challenging, the film delves into the realm of medical technology, which seems to cancel out the distance between the body and its representation.

M-HOLE

Video-reality film, showing the archive of a week in the life of Ian and his relationship with drugs and different subcultures in Madrid. In digital video format, the film works with the “poor image” and is constructed through the documented archive of a real week, where the camera appears as another character, a machinic-sensitive extension of the protagonist himself. Ian constructs landscapes (sonorous and visual) to document the residual dissociative experience of his relationship with various drugs throughout a period of his life. The film M-HOLE constitutes both a therapeutic and documentary attempt to expose, through the archive, the aesthetic experiences that follow him during a week of his life. This experimental-documentary film addresses the issues faced by youth in confronting precarity and chemical policies in relation to the pathological avalanche of our times.
