Arqueología de la Luz

Archaeology of Light

(2019) 




Three modular structures, synchronized with slide projectors installed side by side, rotate at random times. These images, belonging to the Chilean context of the mid-twentieth century, have been intertwined with other current ones: visual memory of historical milestones such as the Puerto Monttearthquake, Salvador Allende's  election campaign and the foundation of “La Victoria”  popular settlement  are combined with images of the abandonment of the train stations in southern Chile. Creating a poetic narration of past and present.
