Espero que al recibo de mi carta(es)

Video collage with fragments of the correspondence between my parents before my birth. I tour the last work space in my father's life, and the current one of my mother. I try to intrude on the timeline of images and sounds. The places constructed in this piece are based on a collage-reading where one perceives the desire for encounter and the longing for the place of origin (Corrientes) while being in the capital of the country (Buenos Aires); and the work and economic situations of that moment, which govern the decisions to be in one space or another. I assemble memories to form correspondences between territories of work and territories of mischief and games; palpable and imagined places, our own and those of others.

The Decline of the West(en)

Unlike anything else you will see in this year or any other, 'The Decline of the West' is a groundbreaking social allegory that challenges its audience to explore the effects of contemporary conditioning; of the stereotypes, and counter-stereotypes surrounding race and ethnicity. By employing a unique blend of absurdist humor and dry, dark comedy, both the insularity and the inertia of progressive society are put on trial and hanged in this bold film that goes places few have ever gone. The film maintains its extended, detailed allegory, in which the physical layout of Manhattan comes to life as its symbols of Progress slowly turn it into a comic liberal dystopia. Anything that "isn't allowed" is used to confront the audience with hypocrisy. Make-up plays a crucial role throughout the film, as a hinge that simultaneously showcases characters and the existential reality of the players behind them.
