Bucles

Loops reflects on the cultural transformation of the human being through geographical and cultural space, tracing the eternal ebb and flow of life in a constant return to beginnings. Although the piece has a beginning and an end, and an intimate coherence of events, it can be viewed from any point. The narrative unfolds as a circle, open to multiple entries.

The video text is inspired by the poems of Edgar Allan Poe, borrowing scattered words and adapting them to a personal experience. The narrative is imbued with a surreal quality that announces things without naming them, through sound and words, through visual metaphors that suggest meanings slipping between the image of the protagonist and her continuous passage through linked spaces.

Through the personal and affective journey of the protagonist, the work addresses universal questions and concepts such as the human bond with the environment, while delving further into complex notions of home, exile, death, religion, ideologies, and the longings that often end in disillusion and frustration. The disappointments in which the protagonist is immersed—exiled, lost between borders and spaces, in a ceaseless wandering—disorient her, yet she resumes her path, transformed by space, searching for home.

Such forced and continuous spatial metamorphoses, migrations from one world to another, from one place to another, inevitably immerse the viewer in a sensation of impotence, a strange form of nihilism that culminates in desolation toward all that is familiar.
