El Contorno, (Contour)

In El Contorno, (Contour) a place lacking any distinguishing spatial characteristics, questions about the performance of a body in space arise: How much space does a body occupy? Do spatial coordinates shape our movements and displacements? A tripartite choreography among the actors eradicates notions of inside and outside, the interior and the exterior of the scene. Here speech isn’t located but interspersed among the narrators. They manage their poetic expressions and their actions as a dismembered unit. What is located in the verbal language is transferred to the visual field. As the artist says, “To see makes us subjects of the video. To be [the] subject of a video is to see with the images of others, to whom they don’t belong either.”
