- Synopsis
- In Pasajes (“Passages”, single-channel video, 2010) static, disturbing shots of an abandoned hotel in ruins follow one another while a literary, silent dialogue of a couple shown in the form of subtitles tell us unfinished stories, or rather notes of what perhaps once was. In inhospitable spaces, words are more important than what is said. The story dissolves under the weight of the sounds of the text which sustain the absent bodies. The ghostly dialogue envelops a void, remaining at the edge of what is not there, which undoubtedly constitutes the very core of desire, a black hole filled with words which direct us to the imagery.
Pasajes is a piece loaded with absence. In addition to the visible distance of the bodies, the words expose the absence and lead to an abyss. Something lies beneath, something which is overflowing and impossible to control. The cadence of the deserted, repetitive image makes us forget the text as a story. At other times, the situation can be reversed. We no longer look, we only try, weakly, to keep our balance between the lines of a hesitant dialogue, as we remain sustained by a certain tension, an original discomfort.
