The Falls
video installation
2017
The Falls is an recent video that explores the passage of time and the illusion of the falls. Divided into three moments, one exterior (view of the body of water) and two interior (within the wall of the cataract), in a progression of scenes and velocities the unit of the drop of water is reached. From macro to micro, in a continuous cycle of time, displacement and scales.
The Falls as a symbolic piece, as flow of energy and life, from the organized to the chaotic. The pictorial characteristics of movement, slow motion shooting and color reinforce the retinal and formal stimulus of the video. The vertical format reaffirms the force of gravity and its energy that attracts everything.
The Falls without beginning or end.
