Elephants' Test is a test, an experiment performed to elephants. It is also a cinematic appropriation, a manipulated found footage, bleach faded and scratched. Two tests in one: the first one was carried out by a French expedition in the African jungle to discover the behavior of a herd of elephants, the second one was self-made from super 8 documentary material.

Natural focus documents the natural landscape in black and white. By varying the opening of the diaphragm, re-framing with the zoom, changing film speeds, transforming the notion of time and superimposing different shots is a dialogue between fact and technological device it represents.

Triple Exposure is a landscape film created with cinematic accelerations, a cluster of distorted visual impressions from the nature, a dynamic trip through the forest of the region of La Selva, Girona. The approach to the figurative elements (branches, leaves, trees, bushes, birches, heaven) are transformed by different optical effects to stand between the lyrical and the abstract.

A collective effort about the recent history of Spain. A distorting mirror, a radiography, a rotten but exquisite corpse: the blood, the sweat, the dandruff of a country in the shape of a large and extended bull skin. A parade of freaks. The ridiculous independence of the upstairs neighbor, the sovereignty demanded by an insane parrot prisoner in its open cage. Football, potato omelette, kings and safaris. Things not to do again. Guerrilla cinema. Hysteria of Spain.

Definition is an approach of the urban landscape from an unusual point of view. It depicts a combination of shots –filmed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn– taking advantage from the mechanical options of the medium: transforming the focus, the equilibrium, the depth of field and the definition of the image as well as the environment.

Produced for Audiotalaia's Ruido Vírico festival in May 2020.

Color Spectrum shows the comings and goings of passersby on a boardwalk. Multiple exposure and color filters transform human figures in ghostly presences of variable color shades.
