AVALANCHA

Art vidéo | 16mm | couleur | 7:0 | Espagne, Allemagne | 2008

Avalancha is the story of a group of people hidden in the woods, they start running out of it and try to trespass a fence with handmade ladders, they jump and run into the woods, and the loop starts, they are hidden in the woods? Based on the events that happened in the border of Morocco and Spain, when several big groups of people tried to trespass the border fence. The press called this event as "avalanche". The film was shot in Germany, in a former fence separating East and West Germany, with german actors, trying to mix equal situations but not being obvious, there is no information about all this in the video. This is just a choreography based on a situation. I filmed the action from 3 different points of view that we can see simultaneously in 3 screens, one for the fence, one for the woods and one for the whole action. The video is presented as a continuous loop as the real fences problem is also a loop.
