landscape essays




Light and time are main elements in this animation. The Rocky Mountains frame and portrait one minute extended words from emigrants who live and work at the Banff Centre of the Arts in Alberta, Canada. The concepts of "memory" and "home" are reflected in three different languages. The pencil strokes fallows the phase of light and sound, constructing an abstract metaphor of the word meaning. These landscapes constitute the daily space where people from Mexico, Peru, Korea, China and Vietnam find symbolic and formal similitude with their own homeland.

Animations produced during the art residency, supported by the grant FONCA/Banff Centre, Canada. 2009
