Experimental film / video installation. HD. 2010/ 2011

A young girl is entering adolescence by encountering different characters setting up scenes in order to influence her. All characters are connected to screens and projections, and a mariachi band enters in between the different scenes to help her look at the previous scene, in order for her to understand her relation to moving images as she is growing up. The project is structured as a constant play between the artificial and the emotional, and throughout her encounters; the girl has to connect and disconnect herself from a screen-based reality.
