El K-So Pirín

2017 · 52 min · Documentary

Pirín is a metropolitan phenomenon from the city of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He is one of the strongest exponents of marginal art in the country. His form of expression is very personal, he is sincere in his manifestations. However, he could be considered a problem by some, given the thematic and reckless nature of his expression. This material was elaborated from informal interviews with Pirín. It is a k-otic document, as a natural extension of Pirín and the context in which he operates on a daily basis.
