Él revela e imagina un mundo en el interior de un cuarto oscuro. Su hija hace de eso un juego: sobre imágenes latentes, posibles, inventadas. Sobre las formas de resistir y transitar la oscuridad. UNA SOMBRA OSCILANTE explora el peso íntimo y político de las imágenes para abrir un espacio donde pensarlas como acto de resistencia, ya sea porque se hacen pese al horror, o porque existen para ofrecer un punto de fuga imaginario que quizás nos libre de este.



He develops and imagines a world inside a dark room. His daughter weaves a dialogue inside it: about latent, invented images. About the ways of resisting and navigating the darkness. UNA SOMBRA OSCILANTE explores how the intimate and political weight of images can open spaces to reflect upon them as acts of resistance, either because they are made despite the horror of their context or because they offer an imaginary vanishing point that might just set us free.
