Trágame nube (el cuerpo establece el ritmo) Trailer (2023)

The two films in this gallery face each other on opposite walls, presenting an identical structure that corresponds to complementary camera perspectives. The difficulty of watching the two sides at once deconstructs the idea that there is a single point of view of both camera and projection, and invites viewers to reconsider how their own bodies interact with the films they watch. A response to José Val del Omar's inquiries into a potential "other cinema" that exists in the intervals between frames, Trágame nube approaches the phenomenon of "persistence of vision" in combination with what Val del Omar called espejo aprojimante, both a technique in which film is projected onto a mirror to diffract images and a reference to cinema as a system that proposes awareness of a shared corporeality among its viewers.
