Are a set of twelve video installations,
video and audio together form a haunting composition. The sequence
of images are landscape shots which I have slowed down and distorted,
which maintain the balance between the moving and still, frames
that act as windows. The slow motion and distortions seek the interest
in the flashes of light, reflections, blur. The repetition of movement
giving us the impression of invariability, of constancy, as if nothing
changed.
The audio captured in different places from the images but belonging
to the same environment and also at different times, creates discontinuity,
causes strangeness, unreality, the absence of a relationship with
the visuals, clearly differentiating the two components of the video
installation, frames the fiction encounter and clash with what we
have before us, exaggerating the illusory, staging of the other.
Twelve video installations as an announcement of what is in front
of us that acts as a mirror of ourselves, of our perplexity. Like
the visuals, the sound has been distorted and manipulated.

Each of the projections is inserted
on a black background, as a threshold, as a framework. Similarity
and dissimilarity are supplanted, distance themselves and sacrifice
themselves, as a cycle, the diachrony separates them due to lack
of correspondence between the video and the audio, but the restlessness
that both share unites them in a sort of synchrony. overcome the
resistance of the similarity, the video and the audio are sacrificed
and we immerse ourselves in the restlessness of lights and sounds,
fantasy emerges. The twelve video installations evoke the perplexity
of being in the world, we realizing the uncertainty to be disoriented
in the clear, appreciating our strangeness, appreciating our real
presence.
