Owner's Portrait

2018 · 79 min · ★ 5.0

"Owner's Portrait" is a documentary fable, with an atmosphere of science fiction: on a remote island, where there are no more humans or money left, lives a community of cats that transmits a libertarian message. The antennas propagate it throughout the planet and are the dogs the first to hear it. Meanwhile, workers lose their lives working in the factory. The animals escape from their homes and the owners go looking for them. In the streets they hear the voices of past revolutions and wonder if a new world can grow at this moment.

One day, I found a box in the trash with super 8 cartridges and a book entitled “Catalog”. The images could be from a cameraman of the past or the future. What would happen if someone found my life in a SD card in a pawnshop? What would my catalog of images contain? Cities, nature and a diary of a digital memory.

What is it like to produce images in 2020 while blind? Zezé Fassmor is a Peruvian multidisciplinary artist living in Buenos Aires: "I do everything but see", says his biography on the social networks he uses. He lost his sight at the age of 25 and today, at 32 and with the idea of seeing again, he films and takes photos, creating his own archive to see those images in the future. We travelled to the Iguazú Falls, exploring the geography of the senses to film another scene from his imagination. What is an image? What we see or what we have in our mind?

A reseller who is too preoccupied with the staging, a collector with a past as a fishing worker, and the owner of an antique shop that admits to selling the affections of people, hints at the state of things.
