THE RIVER ARCHIVE
A video installation that reads the Magdalena River as a folkloric archive of Colombia. It consists of two videos and four hanging transparent pieces.
On one side, four geographical sites along the river are shown through satellite and landscape images, accompanied by the narration of four myths originating from these areas.
In the second video, a fabulated narrative transforms the original four stories into four visual characters. Each story is represented by a transparent amulet hanging from the ceiling, which interacts with the video projection in the space.
Exhibited at DeFabriek Eindhoven.
