Portmanteau

A room in the ocean. An armed dancer transits landscapes. Chronicle of a pistol.

In the “Logic of Sense”, Gilles Deleuze describes the portmanteau words as a “synthesis of coexistence, which ensures the conjunction of two series of heterogeneous propositions”. In this sense, “Portmanteau ” is an experiment that bets on the fusion of objects, spaces and characters, apparently unconnected, with the intention of proliferating their interpretations and becomings.

Movie
Disjunctive fabric or network that collides, by means of re-appropriated or stolen resources, liberated archives that disrupt structures of power and institutions. Psychiatry and universities explode in an accelerated disruptive essay of archiving and post-archiving that coins “anarchoautism” as a flow of liberated desire. Through its form and politics of liberation, autistic and schizophrenic becomings imply a violent line of flight within institutional spaces.

Movie
An amalgam of experimental techniques explore the fragility of modern subjectivity, dismantling the boundaries between nature and culture, subject and object, order and chaos. Perception is dragged into a whirlwind of multiplicities in a fluid space, where the body ceases to be a fixed entity and transforms into a becoming without borders, an assemblage of forces and chronotopes in constant transformation.

Movie
An eye looking at a tree that is becoming green. A look that takes advantage of the audio-visual possibilities of cinema to submerge sensorially in an experience that inquires the poetics of perceptive possibility in the multiplicity of perceptions.

Movie
The turn around a horizon; sonorous puzzle. Becomings that pan, short-circuiting realities. Process is a painting, poem or an experiment that contemplates and makes time and ruptures collide in open new senses.

Movie
Translucent surface tensions of puddles glimpse windows into emptiness. Mirrors of water reflect the nature of portals, the nature of mind, the impermanence of phenomena. Luminous sorcery dissolves the emanations of the city through its reflections.

The chip pulsed the time on the sand-colored foam. A flux of memory-images evokes unfamiliar familiar landscapes; liberated files and a.i. images juxtapose in a frenetic hauntological broth of lost futures.
