Like a horror story that fictionalizes a crime to stir up the emotion of fear, DISTANCIA fictionalizes the method of Ensayos through which a group of researchers in Tierra del Fuego comes closer to comprehending the Archipelago.

The experience of ensayar (rehearsing) is dispersed, it isn’t anything in itself, it is ruffled by the wind, it is forgotten with the irruption of a motor, it becomes insignificant in the rain. From the desolate distance of being what one is, of not being a machine, of not being a horse, nor a road, nor a mountain, nor a cloud, nor Selk’nam, is it possible to suspend the ambition of having any certainty of what any one-thing is? Without doing away with difference, without replacing anyone, without negating the uncomfortable feeling of distance, without appropriating an external point of view, DISTANCIA proposes a mode of faking the manner of the Other, of everything.


The short form web series DISTANCIA pictures this other way of being. Recovering and examining irrational manners and erased realities, we criticize consensual reality; recovering and examining other’s languages we criticize our own means, also imperialist, also a resource.  Every shot, every sequence, every cut, every sound, insists on the living and actual participation of at least two things that relationally generate one another: human on human, human on more than human, and more than human on more than human.
