PUCHUNCAVI
ongoing project (2014-)
Fragments.
Puchuncaví, an area located at the Pacific coast northwest to Santiago de Chile,
was a native american site - a southern terminal of the Inca road system -,
and for some reasons the complicated structures of what we call a 'site' has
kept haunting Puchuncaví.

Puchuncaví originally derives from Mapudungún and reads as something
like 'where fiestas abound' refering to the tradition of the native fiestas.
This is in contrast to a more recent industrial development of the area that
includes copper refineries, steam power plants and a lading port.

The lading port could be regarded as the intersection of the site Puchuncaví.

FOTOGRAMA
VILLATALLA
16mm, color and BW, silent, 20" 2011
Film shots and sound recordings over the course of one month in a remote
mountain village in Liguria.
I do not work with the illusion of the synchronisation of image and sound,
but with the idea that these 2 dimensions do exist as realities independant
of each other, and as such do in fact emerge in our consciousness.
The world in Villatalla is not showcased but simply lived.
The few remaining inhabitants pursue the few remaining work.
Social life happens in a beautiful slowness of the present.
