Neón Cortex
2023 | B/N | 13:56

Speculative fiction, vegetal narration, dream of seeds. Neon Cortex: a living assembly, a potential film. An entity with a will of its own that resists disintegration and insistently introduces itself in new forms. A pile of basalt beneath an ancestral temple. Trickling. S8 and 16mm, digitally reformed.

Neon Crystals

Expired photochemical materials, between 20 and 50 years out of the range of viability. Film found at global garbage dump, still throbbing fossil swap meets.

Almost images extracted with violence and force, from the first to the last step of manipulation.

Every image, every sound is the result of a geological combat.
