LATITUD 12<>LONGITUD-86, 2019
video rt. 1 hr; video excerpt rt: 10 min.
The video Latitud 12<>Longitud -86 is based on 365 photographs I took during the uprising in Masaya and in Managua, Nicaragua in April and May of 2018. The works have been manipulated to create one seamless abstract video. This video engages the complexities of seeing/listening/sensing in contemporary times. Besides the obvious danger to protesters in an era of spectral visuality—where many have been jailed after the government has scrubbed videos in social media—for me this work also explores a kind of blindness and deafness, with which we all have to contend with on a daily basis, wherever we are.
