Nanacatepec, 2024
Azucena Losana y Elena Pardo
45 min.
This cinematographic performance combines analog materials in 8 and 16 mm and pre-cinema images with a soundtrack of electroacoustic music. It is inspired by Nanacatepec, a rock traversed by a mycelium network without a defined shape. Its fruits (mushrooms) act as creators and transformers of everything in the world.
