Esto de Juntar Flores (2024)

Digital Video with sound, 11:01

Esto de juntar flores is a short film that explores the love for flowers and the desire to collect them, based on a shared experience with my father during our visit to the Keukenhof in Lisse. Through this exploration, and a little luck, I discovered that some Dutch companies are working with fields in the south of Chile, allowing them to have a year-round production of tulips.

Claveles del Aire (2021)

Digital Video with sound, 29:58

The film portrays the return to home and encounter with lost memories, looking at air carnations as a powerful metaphor for growth and resilience in womanhood. Claveles del Aire explores the possibilities of filmmaking to weave different perspectives through the editing process. This intimate portrait weaves together personal and family narratives, revealing layers of identity, memory, and womanhood, much like the intricate and chaotic garden in her mother’s house.

As the listener explores the terrain they are invited to imagine the environment as an extension of their immune system and to contemplate the many ways in which their bodies are entangled with microplastics in the sediments of Amsterdam’s waterways.
