Palabras ajenas 2023

Directed by Albertina Carri

Made between 2021 and 2022, the medium-length film pays homage to the eponymous work by artist León Ferrari, a literary collage created between 1965 and 1967 in the context of the Vietnam War: it replicates its method through a montage of archives from the confinement caused by the pandemic. What do we do with the information debris that passes through our bodies? From this question, the filmmaker composes an ecology of the image/archive, recycling alienating, banal, ridiculous, excessive, and/or hateful spam in the face of other voices of resistance.
