Lorena Almario Rojas

Film

In an abandoned coal mine, surrounded by the ghosts of industrial machinery, the filmmaker runs, plays and embodies images from ethnographic and contemporary archives. As she recites a poem directly to the camera, her body begins to transform, taking on the figure of the jaguar.
