aguas quietas

Fecha

2024

3 channel videoinstallation
in Loop

The title is aguas quietas meaning ‘still waters’ comes from the saying “Still waters run deep” a Proverb that means that a quiet or placid manner, may conceal a passionate nature. But it also means that it is better not to underestimate someone who looks harmless, because they can be the most dangerous.

In this video installation consisting of three videos displayed each in a CRT monitor. The narrative revolves around a character who desires to read multiple things simultaneously, aiming to attain the greatest possible knowledge while saving time.

She seeks to learn through osmosis, interpreting osmosis as a direct method of transferring information without exerting effort. In the physical phenomenon of osmosis, molecules passively transfer themselves throughout a liquid solution.

However, in this work, I wanted to unfold the definition. what is conceived as 'intellectual' effort, is the one that the character avoids. She is physically confronting herself with books as the direct source for absorbing knowledge.
