Un Cuento de Santa María Original

VR 360° online screener https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gLNgVrsu2o Un cuento de Santa Marìa is a 4-channel installation created during the art residence AIR MadreSelva, Montevideo (Uruguay). The artwork is composed of four stories of people without hope inspired by the atmospheres of the novels written by the Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onetti. Onetti’s novels take place in the imaginary city of Santa Marìa. The main characters of the artworks are forced into a nihilistic and dark loop. The aspect ratio of the 4 channels changes constantly and slowly until the images will become impossible to be watched by the viewer. “The artwork possesses an excellent construction of a narration. It employs novel medium of film expres- sion within 4-channel presentation. The ascetic aesthetics and image construction minimalism were con- fronted with passionate, dramatic human relations, and the dominance of gender issues.” International Competition for the Intermedia Artwork Jury’s verdict (First Prize)
