*RIVER STONES****
________ is a short film composed of two videos and a series of ceramic objects. The film reads the Magdalena River as a folkloric archive of Colombia. Where fiction and real stories travel across the country through the places next to the waters of the river.
The first video presents the river as a mythological creature that flows through a diverse range of landscapes and witnesses a wide realm of stories.
The second video presents four stones inspired by four stories that take place close to the river. It is based on the colombian saying cuando el rio suena piedras trae (when the river sounds, it brings stones), suggesting that part of the river’s sound comes from the stones. This video is accompanied by the four ceramic pieces (the stones).
Exhibited during Dutch Design Week at Heuvel gallery.
