Fabrication. Re-designing Aesthetic Hybrids to Assist Collective Debates


Fabrication. Re-designing Aesthetic Hybrids to Assist Collective Debates.
Series of screenings

Fabrication offers a movement into the ethnographic changes that occurred in documented history. Offering a series of filmographies aligned by a single subject: Adoption, each sequence offers a visual narrative that at first will only reference a distinctive feature through the everyday heroes of filmmaking history. Tarzan and Jane, Antar and Abla, Irma La Douce, are all general icons that will then lead into the collection of a regional archive. A re-adaptation of an adaptation is re-invented to re-assist its contemporary location: the Spaghetti Western revises al-Andalus, and al-Andalus reconsiders the identity of this as its international landmark. Other series of videos look at the boundaries of social migration, asylum and the adoption of silence.
