Spreading across six-channels, Talk with Dust opens with a vertical projection of road shot from a moving vehicle. With the camera focused entirely on the asphalt, we don\u2019t see any of the surrounding landscape, and with its whirring yellow lines and patchy zig-zags of tar, this view of Patagonia\u2019s route 26 dissolves into something that resembles a Structuralist film more than a scenic drive\u2014 thereby setting the tone for a journey without a clear destination. Over the video\u2019s six channels, which un- fold over screens of different sizes and orientation, we encounter a slow-burning candle, a drummer improvising, an explosion, and a car cycling endlessly in the desert. Through the viewers\u2019 own movement through space, these isolated occurrences form their own asynchronic narrative and generate a fragmented world\u2014rich mental and material territories on \u201cthe other side of the real\u201d where the fantastic re- sides.","space":"The space in which the entirety of the installation should display should be big enough to accommodate 6 videos (as shown on the pictures). At the same time, the show could be divided and fewer pieces could show. I attach two floor plans where the whole installation had been shown so far.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/406126821","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Sebsti\u00e1n","surname":"D\u00edaz Morales","email":"sdm@sebastiandiazmorales.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"24400279","address":"Van Swindendwarsstraat 72","city":"Amsterdam","nacionality":"Argentino","country_id":"169","birthdate":"1975-04-12T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1975-04-12T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"0031638375929","web":"www.sebastiandiazmorales.com","fileCount":10}
