Onda

Both Onda (Brazil, 2020), by Lígia Teixeira, and Orilla (Argentina, 2020) by Verónica Paz, display perspectives based on intervened material, whether through superimposition, film aging, or colorization. These new elements in celluloid give the impression that the recovered reality itself cannot but be seen from this chemical and physical sieve, from this tangible process that gives another nature to memory. In both works, the sea allows for the support of a poetics, of waves that simulate these memories that come and go. Let＇s say that these are overused metaphors, but they serve as excuses for formal explorations, from the fragment, the repetition, the multi-part screen or the juxtaposition, the physical aspect of the overwhelming memory.
