In Lima, at the beginning of 1993, decided Rebeca to walk over the highway next to her house but her ramble was interrupted all of the sudden. This woman was the Rodríguez's grandmother. Her death is the main motive to make this film, which wants to find a way to bring up a very painful familiar event. How can cinema mediate painfully memories? What kind of truth emerge by the means of radical subjectivity? |

Inspired by magical encounters in the cities of Torino and Warsaw, Accordion of Light shapes a holographic world of love and memory. The work resists narrative interpretation by juxtaposing seemingly disparate images and sounds to create new meaning. It is an exploration of our internal worlds, and speaks to the need in all of us to define, quantify, and measure where we begin and where we end. |

Sound and image hold equal weight. Shifting from constructed urban sites to composed natural environments, to dioramas of both, the video creates a disorienting set of overlapping realities. With video footage shot and edited in Berlin, the work also includes field recordings, found sounds and electronics, gathered and produced in Los Angeles. |
