The biggest, most populated, and frantic city in South America. While Cariocas are like tropical birds, Paulistas are like frenetic ants. Distances are longer and they're always in a hurry. A busy journey through this beautiful Brazilian beast which cannot help but beating irregularly.

In 1920s Buenos Aires, Tango sensation Carlos Gardel is involved with several women, including the baroness Ms. Wakefield. He finds his way to 1930s Paris and captivates the local culture with his alluring voice and dashing visage. Against the background of social upheaval and political turmoil, the baroness changes him forever, transforming a wandering soul into a legendary musical icon.

With carpenters and fishermen on the coast of Valparaíso, Leonel Vasquez built a boat/sound installation following the almost extinct tradition of the craft wooden boats that still sail these waters. Through on-board wooden speakers, fishermen tell the stories of their livelihoods.

During the enhancement of the audiovisual heritage of the Embassy of Mexico in Argentina we found promotional tourist material in different media. I chose some 16mm film titles published 1968–72. At that time, the National Tourism Office commissioned and distributed these short films emphasizing modernity and comfort in contrast to the exotic and almost pristine nature of our tourist destinations. This new wave of mass tourism to underdeveloped countries, which would become one of the main sources of income for Mexico and the Caribbean, was what the Cuban historian Manuel Moreno Fraginals called “the fourth plantation,” alluding to economic practices of monoculture and neocolonialism. This is a compilation of the most interesting moments to review the speeches of that time.

La cuarta plantación

A 16mm film performance draws inspiration from the Nanacatepec, a rock traversed by a network that extends without a defined shape. Its fruits, in the form of mushrooms, serve as creators and transformers of everything in the world.
