NANACATEPEC
Expanded cinema performance/ 16mm film loops and slide projectors / color & black & white / 45′ / live sound / 2024
The Nanacatepec rock is traversed by a network that extends without a defined shape. It communicates both below and above the earth with living and dead beings. Its fruits, in the form of rhizomes and branching networks of fungi, are creators and transformers of everything in the world. Using multiple projections of films and objects in a 16mm film performance, the two artists create an irresistible visual eddy of nature shots and shadow plays.
Azucena Losana was born in 1987 in Mexico City. Operating between Mexico City and Buenos Aires, her work is linked between experimental film, installation and video.
Elena Pardo is an explorer, a producer and an activist of the moving image. Her film work crosses the fields of documentary, animation, installation and live performance. In 2013, she cofounded the Laboratorio Experimental de Cine (LEC), an artist-run lab designed to build an filmmaker and audience community through production, learning, and film projection.
