Synopsis

Gabriela loses her body is an installative experimental film with a version for movie theaters. The film consists of diptychs that constantly dialogue, complement and redefine each other. Gabriela, a Chilean dancer, loses her body. She begins to lose her body in the material search of it. His friends, who help her in trying to rebuild her stuff, find the concrete and social search of the body as a demolished materiality. Hundreds of images put in dual screen, semantic landscapes freely associated, give an account about Gabriela’s feelings.

I’m interested in playing with languages to find bridges between narrative cinema, documentary, and experimental and expanded cinema.

Cinema was not always or has been a narrative spectacle, since its beginning the potential of the image has been a sensory spectacle by itself. These temporary cuts from the image in constant dialectic , put into operation multiple and alternative films to the delight of the viewer. This film on the other hand does not require much of the spectator, just to let go himself and feel.

Based on the studies of David Le Breton and Judith Butler, as well as notions of liquid identities by Zygmunt Bauman, I thought this film as a motor and a motivation for my career and my way of seeing films in general. The images that I set up are also referenced in some way in the avant-garde photography of Luigi Ghirri . So this experiment has been taking shape, where even the music on it has been produced by myself as a result of a research for this project.
