Lucina Annulata

Sunny. Semantic sequences guide the gaze, a gaze that is sometimes raised, propelled downwards, then too high or motionless in front of an unrecognizable and yet so familiar vision.

ENTRANCE

This is an installation documentary created in 2015.

A lot of things happened after 2015, and the film was re-edited. The current version has almost used the best materials of that year.

What Humans See as Blood, Jaguars See as Chicha

In the rural desert of Bolivia, where the most important presence is the wind moving between papa flowers and animals, the people who harvest the land, those who built the ancient artifacts and sacred objects and the musicians who play moseñada – songs linked to the first products of the harvest – on the streets of the city have one point in common: labor.
