el otro aquí is a project structured around our personal memory, marked by distance and that from which we have distanced ourselves. Far from our affective environments and formative landscapes, to inhabit new spaces and meanings arising from other traditions; those of the here, where we have settled, with discontinuous returns to our origins. Based on this personal reflection, the installation appeals to universal memory and its ductile quality emerging in the impossibility of its completeness, in what is missing: in a displaced but latent memory.

Valentina and Carlos form a collective that investigates images around the filmic device. They recently participated in the screening of programmes at Galería Microscope and Anthology Film Archives. They premiered the performance FFF at New York’s Museum of the Moving Image in early 2023.
