Arder en Deseo

暫無暫無暫無尚無足夠評分

"Arder en deseo" is the result of a Super8 cartridge shot in April 2023 in Santiago de Chile, materializing three different desires for three different images: The first scene depicts "Plaza Dignidad" from various angles, the starting point of the Estallido social (lit. "social outburst") on October 18th 2019, the second is a quote of Hippolyte Bayard’s photographic self-portrait posing as a drowned man from October 18th in 1840 and the third one shows two empty chairs in connection with the first scene of the empty monument. In using the “obsolete” medium of analog film "Arder en deseo" creates a temporal anachronism, a technological ellipsis, in which memory, oblivion and disappearance enter into poetical dialogue fifty years after the Chilean coup d'état.
