Metamimesis:
THE CALAMITY OF PLATO’S LOOKING GLASS
Directed by Terri Thomas Potts
This video installation titled “Metamimesis: The Calamity of Plato’s Looking Glass” was loosely inspired by Pirholt’s book, Metamimesis: Imitation in Goethe’s ‘Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre’. Accordingly, Thomas thinks of the video component much like an underwater puppet show, focusing on duomodality whereby the “omnipotent” artist plays both narrator and actor. This is contrasted by the artist’s aestheticized narrative that fluctuates between an intra and extra-diegetic gaze. Peculiarities are created through highlighting the low-tech and campy esthetic that creates a break from the mimetic and social expectations.

ORIGENES
Directed by Franklin Mendoza
|
Where am I? Where is the exit? I open my eyes. Slowly, the air returns expanding my lungs. … “Origins" is a video art project that explores being under water while moving through a great piece of silk. In this video, I look into the sensations of a birth such as not being able to breathe, not been able to see clearly and living in a weightless environment.

"Let there be light" - The light project
Directed by Génesis Gonzalez
The light project is a photographic/video body of artwork that creates a relationship between light and color while creating an abstract experience for the audience. The stimulus for this work originates in Latin American cities that are full of vigor, activity, and colors. The processes are conducted on the city streets at night while capturing moments and spaces, transforming the traditional cities and places where we live, as well as, providing a new perspective to familiar environments.
The purpose of Genesis Gonzalez with this project is to create photography and video using light that connects with the audience through shapes and colors. “The graduation between light and dark is where my story begins - generating a supernatural world that transcends reality. The photographic process allows me to capture the unseen world as an abstract environment of shape and color allowing my mind to be free from time and space.”
The images invite the viewer to develop their own experience, shrouding reality to embrace this unidentified world. The presentation or installation of this work is essential, allowing bringing the concept and process closer together. Using new and alternative approaches allows creating a new experience for the traditional photograph.

immanere
Directed by Flavia Franceschini
Water is immanent; it is in every form of life.
It is in the water, in the amniotic fluid, that we begin to exist.
Like a river, life flows without return, to the sea.
“Immanere” [from the latin immanēre, to remain, to linger], which seems to contain the word mare, or sea, as antithesis of to transcend: water and life are immanent; the essence of the one is inherent in the other.
In the eternal return of the waves, I imagined the reappearance, the reappearance as visions, of moments of lived life. These are fragments of footage shot by my father in super8 films, moments of family travels to seaside locations, from 1956 to 1973. That is, from my early childhood to adolescence. I tracked them down and revisited them, after many decades of oblivion, in order to compose this video, overcoming the impasse of many technological transformations; and it was exciting.

Water Elusive AbsenceDirected by Gianni Cestari
|
Participating in the silent mutability of water and escaping its monotony leads to occasions that could be otherwise lost.
Its leavening and gravity movement generates energy. It is repetitive, like the rhythm of funky music, like the beats of the heart, balance of energies like life. |

L’ACQUA DI CAPPO
|
Integrity is absolute; is it only after destruction that it is possible to find redemption, or rebirth?
The video is made up of images and video clips, as well as very short quotes; it is like waters’ ideal route, from the sources to the sea. The sounds are a product of the author's a computer re-elaborations, except from the musical piece by Animuccia called Missa Victimae by Paschali Laudes, released in Rome in 1567, which underlines the final part of the video. This music used to be performed on Easter Sunday. |

7 (seven) OAKSProduced & DIrected by
Mery Godigna Collet |
In a conceptual way, 7 Oaks is built around themes like regeneration, memories, emotions, belonging and feelings... the eventual need of leaving a recognizable context in order to survive.
Mery Godigna Collet uses the Oak Trees as a metaphor to address these feelings and stablish a parallelism during conversations with 7 Women: Sissy Farenthold, Lulu Flores, Ana Almaguel, Nilda de la Llata, Sheryl Cole, Amy Wong and Kristen O’Brien. The conversations took place in Austin TX during 2014 and 2015. |
