Villa quietud

Video Safari is a two channel non narrative work that portrays with irony Mexico’s national programme of “Magical towns”; (small villages known for their high level of tourism) , showing the excess it entails. In the images there are spaces and arranged objects with which one can gather spectral clues that give a hint of what happened there.

Lost items is generated in realtime, it is inspired in the virtual landscapes of videogames and how they have a life of their own, existing even when we are not looking; the characters and objets that live there are doomed to repeat the same task over and over again. This piece tries to explores a cyclic condition and the difficulty of escaping rules and events that were previously programmed.

Quest is suspended in a virtual time: it portrays various "NPCs" (Non Playable Characters) trapped in a cycle of eternal repetition inside of various "Villa Quietud" scenarios, an imaginary space that tries to find the essence of tourism in Mexican “Magical towns”.
