Hotel Farrapos

2014 • 12 min • Brazil

"Hotel Farrapos" has the Farroupilha Revolution as a backdrop, not the war itself, but the banal way in which it permeates our day-to-day, giving name to the sandwich, to the avenue, to the park, etc. The film is a walk on the “B side” of Porto Alegre.

Intemerata

2014 • 5 min

Italian video producer Magmart asked me to participate in their F.I.V.E. project - a collection of 25 artists exploring the five senses. This series showed around the world at both traditional venues (museums and galleries) and unusual spaces, like a grocery store in Canada. I was assigned the sense of "touch" and created a sensual piece with dancer Laura Bernasconi. The process was juried based on open submissions. I was pleased that the resulting work called "INTEMERATA" was selected for their world tour.

Far from the standard fisheye lens images of skateboarders gliding over perfectly smooth concrete skate parks, The Modern Skateboarding shows us a group of skaters who think nothing of riding through mud in the atypical and unconventional skating ground of the French countryside.

Land of Friends

2014 • 38 min

Land of Friends focuses on seemingly small images and micro moments of everyday life to highlight the tensions and struggles between local fishing and farming communities and the multinational corporations converting the Yuma into hydroelectric power. In the film, Caycedo intersects footage recorded along the river with scenes of her tracing the flow of the river with a brush on paper and, towards the end, with images turned upside down. The choice of everyday gestures and these interventions acknowledge the small scale informal economies along the river and the relationship people develop with bodies of water and their spiritual significance. Through the practice of appropriating for example satellite images and the insistence on developing alternative forms of representation, the film proposes the unlearning of our reductive and commodified perception of rivers.
