Writing
Some of the materials and studies that were made during 2015 for the conformation and creation of the short film New life. The selection, the re-appropriation and the montage of them, conform a new poetic that has a direct relation with the final work and at the same time opens a space that allows us to glimpse the creative process, transforming itself into a piece in itself. Materiales is like the B-side of another cinematographic work, as in the old 7-inch vinyl sigles.

The production of bricks has a history, with various predecessors. The idea that the Tiwanaku people developed cement seems more improbable to us than stories of extraterrestrials. We contemplate this while repeating the imagined antiquity, more like the precariousness of madness made manifest.
Elder MamanĂ’s father has died, and it looks as if young Elder couldn’t care less, even though he has no one to take care of him now.

Amid the lunar landscapes of the Bolivian mountains, the few traces of human presence seem minuscule, anecdotal.

We weren't seeking salt, but something less controversial—a culture exemplary in many senses, with its myths and the representations made by travelers. Dictionaries, documentaries, sociology books about the first humans. However, what we found was a series of poorly disguised lies throughout a system of audiovisual representation of the last government, but also of all governments. This film is about our precarious system of lies and our questions about what might be underneath or in front. In this case, in relation to salt, lithium, myths, mythologies, and mystifications.
