Tijuana snapshot

My work is based on the capture of memory through the documentary. The memory of individuals, whose images warn his own oblivion and need for construction. The reconstruction of that memory is given through an interview, a disordered chronology, photographs and archival film, and so on. The script is the backbone of this narrative, which then materialize a video essay. The narrative of the movie clip is concretized by the media, through words (audio) and visual semiotics (film). This encoding text and image combine to materialize in the assembly. In this sense, the script is printed as the time of a film crystallized. The word creates images, one of the texts describe the footage of the film, the spatial context of the individual, and the second witness to the subject being interviewed. The standard reference work then between these two times. The banner has written the script of the interview and voice-overs, which describes a personal reflection about the imaginary, the memory and its current relationship with a space: Tijuana. The interview is Higgigbi Maxon, a young Californian of 30 years of age who travel frequently to Tijuana as a teenager. The video essay is to emphasize an intimate reflection of the process of memory through the images. The written word becomes the trace of an experience, time recording, which reduces the endless souvenir replica of emphasizing the nostalgic exotification of Tijuana.
