Duo Strangloscope
(Cláudia Cárdenas & Rafael Schilchting)
Sólo un poco aquí
SÓLO UN POCO AQUÍ
¿Acaso de veras se vive con raíz en la tierra? Nada es para siempre en la tierra: Sólo un poco aquí. Aunque sea de jade se quiebra, Aunque sea de oro se rompe, Aunque sea plumaje de quetzal se desgarra. No para siempre en la tierra: Sólo un poco aquí.
SYNOPSIS:
In the vibrant space of images, the gods, each in their place, come towards us by a cry or by a face and the color of the face has its cry; and the cry is worth its weight of images in the space in which life matures. Duo Strangloscope – Tepoztlán – México – 2018
SHORT BIO:
Cláudia Cárdenas & Rafael Schilchting are Duo Strangloscope. Duo Strangloscope’s films have been always focused entirely on movement, rhythm, and composition, and we have abandoned the focus on narrative. It is fraught with conscious ambiguities, encourages multiple interpretations, and marshals paradoxical and contradictory techniques and subject-matter to create a work that requires the active participation of the viewer. Experimental films are films that push the boundaries of conventional film making. The experimental aspect could be new and different ways of working with the camera, using lighting, playing with audio effects, scripting, performing or even acting. We started developing our own experimental films because of our interest in working with digital forms, trying to give them some texture by increasing the use of pixels, enlarging the images in its own digital materiality and then mixing digital with films in order to create a mutant skin.
