Chroniques
Peeping Tom & Extrapôle / Gabriela Carrizo
Among the immortal, each act (and each thought) is an echo of those who anticipated it in the past or the faithful omen of those who, in the future, willrepeat it to the point of vertigo. – Jorge Luis Borges
Five figures are trapped in a temporal maze, mutating and colliding in an attempt to defy immortality. Their existence takes place in a vast sulfuric landscape, unfolding in a series of chronicles. Is this landscape the ground for new creations, or made out of remnants of what once existed?
In an unceasing effort to create something together, this community is challenged by different laws and physical phenomena. Their bodies reveal other behaviours and possibilities of being, without knowing whether they’re in the twilight or the dawn of their existence. We are witnessing a bodily metamorphosis in an abyssal, poetic dimension.
