Nanacatepec

Forum Expanded 2024
© Laboratorio Experimental de Cine
The Nanacatepec rock is traversed by a network that extends without a defined shape. It communicates both below and above the earth with living and dead beings. Its fruits, in the form of rhizomes and branching networks of fungi, are creators and transformers of everything in the world. Using multiple projections of films and objects in a 16mm film performance, the two artists create an irresistible visual eddy of nature shots and shadow plays.
