Postcards of urban landscapes, words reconstructed, framed and reframed. Juxtapositions, tracings, paintings. The hands manipulate the objects, seek their second life from the images/words, according to the layers of memory. «Don't let my memories be stolen (….) Geography is history».

Cruce Postal: Del Otro Nuevo Viaje

If the heart is the muscle that never rests, the hands are not better off as the body’s laborers. They touch, hold, pick, and create, they bring things into existence. This film explores the relationship between art and labor in the most tactile of enterprises. Matter is present both in front of and inside the camera. In front we have ceramics, collectively mixed, molded, and shaped. Inside we have film (celluloid) collecting the light that comes from the world around ARROJALATIERRA. A film about making things that leave a trace in space and time. (Lucía Salas)
