The video
„Amazonas_El Dorado“ (This belongs to the second channel of the
installation but for the exhibition I will show only this ) makes the
audience part of a camera journey through the Amazon region between
Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. The expeditions of the Spanish colonizers
in search of gold, the expeditions through the ‚El Dorado‘
often led nowhere.
The upside–down images force a change of
perspective, and at the same time, a dream world seems to open up,
becoming a nightmarish landscape and situation with no possibility of
escape. The camera leads from the river to flooded land over an area
where the indigenous and Afro-Colombian population lived for years in
an exceptional situation between guerrillas and paramilitaries and is
now threatened by environmental disasters.
