In the running of any analogue film, the camera’s shutter was closed half of the time. Technically, any given film only captures half of what took place, so there is always 'another cinema’ of equal length that could have been made during the intervals between frames. Trágame nube consists in two twin, complementary films precisely based in this logic, brought about as one of the most persistent preoccupations about perception Spanish filmmaker and inventor of 20th century José Val del Omar expressed in his writings. The work was originally conceived as a film installation in which both films project on the two sides of a single screen in loop. Trágame nube was commissioned for the exhibition Cinema of Sensations: the Neverending Screen of Val del Omar (March — October 2023), curated by Almudena Escobar, at the Museum of the Moving Image, New York. A 2-channel version was created as a posterior adaptation for theatrical venues and exploits the potentialities of the resonances and reflections of the twin films.

The film unit has a three-part structure. The first part is a play tag with filmmaker Bruno Delgado Ramo at the Alhambra palace in Granada, where Val del Omar shot Aguaespejo granadino (1955). The second and central part of the film is entirely devoted to a selection of Val del Omar’s original documents held at the library of the MNCARS in Madrid, composed mostly of notes, project drawings, sketches, letters, written material for lectures and press clippings. The film apparatus presented on the third part of the film was shot in Bilbao and presents the syntax of cinema as sculpture and performance in a loose association with Val del Omar's emblematic studio PLAT.

Could film gelatin, a 16mm film camera, 3 lenses and film developing chemistry experimentation act as messengers between the spirit and the physical world? a one day trip to the remote town of Panguipulli (Chile) seeks to explore possibilities and to also expand on the power of audio frequencies as a healing instrument.

/A manifestation of the hummingbird movement?
/A connection between mind, landscape, sound, latent image?
/A replication of Rukapillan volcano’s intermittent flows of magma through fissures on the earth’s surface?

The snow of Weissensee, a home in Tāmaki Makaurau, the beach in Matapōuri. Edited in camera, using double-perforated film.

A collected geography of local flora; appearing, disappearing, reappearing, enmeshing. Afterimage becomes before-image, physiology and pathology at play. The will to walk aimlessly, rejuvenated, as stasis turns to movement and back again.

Eternal recurrence and wisdom undone. The end or the beginning. Who are we that we. One and the same are the shadow cast and its cause.

A hypnotic journey through the seven valleys on the way to reach the abode of the Simurgh.

Vancouver Island, supernatural by construct and memory, is experienced though landscapes represented by colonial icons, mysterious brilliant fountains, and a curious peacock. A tableaux of sorts, each encounter is singular yet united by stunning and devastated beauty.

Humanity approaches in an ineluctable wave of uncertainty, hope and inevitability. A ferry crossing in Mumbai stands here for all such places and times of human expansion and human vulnerability.

Kenilworth' is a silent, meditative portrait of a landscape within the city that has become a sanctuary for me. The in-camera multiple exposures weave seasonal changes to create unexpected tones. Recently, a train line began construction through a major part of this natural area, and many trees have been cut down. 'Kenilworth' is an attempt to capture the unique natural beauty and atmosphere of this natural space.

Granite tors scattered over 20 square kilometers around Tooborac in central Victoria dance in energetic celebration of their own endurance.

Grant Park experiments with the process of photosynthesis and chlorophyll, which uses the sunlight to print 16mm image sequences onto leaves. The images/leaves are attached to celluloid creating an animation of the Grant Park Atlanta location where the leaves were collected.
The film illustrates the Grant Park landscape and the park’s history through the process of photosynthesis. The film sequence is of scenes I’ve filmed in the locations where I’ve gathered the leaves for printing as well a photosynthesis educational film. The film negatives are contact-printed on to the leaves utilizing the process and then each leaf image will be placed in sequence back onto 16mm clear celluloid for projection.

Hojas de Maíz is an abstract film, constructed from etchings without the use of a camera. Made at the request of Cincinnati instrument-builder Anthony Luensman, the film was originally intended to be projected amidst arrays of vibrating piano strings. To provide an organic counterpoint to the lines of machine-spun steel, the film was built up from impressions taken of the corn husks used to form and steam tamales. An old media (etchings, celluloid) journey through progressions of color, temperature, and screen energy.

Geométrika is a mathematical odyssey that invites viewers on an experimental journey through the geometric wonders of the universe, reminiscent of watching floaters under your eyelids. Shot on 16mm and hand painted and developed.

As Borges once said, “Censorship is the mother of metaphor.” This 16mm structural film explores how state control breeds its own linguistic and visual resistance. Created in response to China's "zero-COVID" policy—with its harsh lockdowns, relentless testing, and severe restrictions that tragically culminated in the Ürümqi fire—this project treats developed image-less Ektachrome film as an "unclean" object in need of cleansing. By applying chlorine dioxide to film surfaces—following government disinfection guidelines during the pandemic—the work transforms physical material into a metaphor for censorship and information control in mainland China. Untitled Film Disinfection Project examines the delicate intersection of public health measures, state control, and artistic resistance.
