Cantata de las cosas solas

An essay on absence and looking at the world. Fragments and images of precarious urban life. “A film made from the same material with which you make silence after a snowstorm. A sweet suspension, pushing each image towards eternal space. I tried to find a fundamental word, and I did not succeed. Each image in the Cantata approaches and penetrates this word, which I do not yet know. The film is woven from things that are true, speaking about it means distorting it, making it banal. All one can do is contemplate it. Accompany the experience and draw close to that part of it which is still trembling.” (Santiago Loza)
