K, vision of Welles. 3´05´´, avi. PA 2015.

Appropriate fragments from the film The Trial, directed by Orson Welles, an adaptation of F. Kafka’s novel of the same name.
The piece condenses a scene from the film. The mirrored and reversed image, along with the text, highlights its relationship with desire, as a cyclical and unfinished search between verisimilitude, truth, and the real.

This video is part of a series of works in which I employ appropriation and audiovisual montage as strategies to highlight, challenge, and render visible various power structures. I am interested in examining the collective imagination through the production of cultural industries such as literature, film, television, music, radio, pornography, among other productions that somehow affect, shape, and naturalize our subjective aspects, archetypes related to gender, masculinity, heroism, femininity, sovereignty, desire, otherness, love, and identity, but also the way we relate to our environment.

In a broader sense, I am interested in reviewing aspects of our historiography through the use of quotations and fragments. In this particular video series, I examine film adaptations of literary texts.
