Tomás Rautenstrauch

The hands of Narcisa Hirsch, a nonagenarian, open another Super 8 film cartridge to load a camera. In what seems like a ritual of passing on a legacy, the grandmother and her grandson, Tomás Rautenstrauch, watch a film of a meadow that gradually fills the frame.

Inspired by a classroom screening of Michael Snow's Back and Forth, the filmmaker shot his own version and sent it to be developed. Disappointed with the shoot, he abandoned the film and forgot about it. Years later, he gave Azucena Losana the same Super 8 roll, not realizing it was his Snow experiment. This is the result, with both shots superimposed.
