N/A N/A (6.16)

2000, 2006 and 2021. Three trips, three stages of five lives. Jana, Luca, Roberto, Yoon Soo and Raquel are in their mid-20s / early 30s on their first two "Caminos", and past 40 on their third. So much will happen until then: Jana's anti-establishment rage will have calmed somewhat, revealing unexpected compassion in the German woman. Luca, the Italian, will hit rock bottom and resurrect himself with a little help from his friends. Roberto, the Mexican, will learn to forgive himself by accepting that another's death was not his fault. And while their passion for music makes Korean Yoon Soo and Spaniard Raquel the perfect couple, they must learn the hard way that they have mistaken friendship for love before they can once again find peace of mind. All of them experience friendship and loss, jealousy and love, courage and despair, forgiveness, bliss and finding their own personal purpose in life.

Vanishing Point 2021

In our humanity, there is a vanishing point. We step in and out of it; it’s a kind of zone in which we shift in each other’s perspective from definite to indefinite, and vice versa.” – Karl Ove Knausgaard. Taking inspiration from Knausgaard’s writing on art’s power to bolster our common humanity, Vanishing Point is a multi-channel film installation that meditates on human connection. The three screens show a line of musicians emerging from the distance as the music they play slowly becomes more audible. Through a series of synchronized camera movements, the sound of their instruments ebbs and flows, forming a constantly shifting trio playing a coherent piece of music across the three shots. The changing proximity and the resultant shifts in visual and sonic focus symbolize a mutable sense of connection between the viewer and musicians.

Archipelago 2023

A memory exercise, a crystalized moment in time that captures poetic and existential quotidian gestures. A journey into a world of estrangement in which nothing is what it seems, yet it gives way to the vision of a better future after the storm. A work that begins with a sequence of correspondences in the distance to gradually become an essay that reflects on the perception of time, confinement, the impact of man on nature and the very act of filmmaking.
