Multimodal presentation at the Film Festival Conference of the Royal Anthropological Institute, March 19-28.
"Asynchronous Crisis, Corresponded Transcontinental Audio-visual Chronotope" is an ongoing collaboration with a Japanese visual anthropologist Pero Fukuda. Our work questions and multiplies the notion of crisis, and constructs a polyphonic transcontinental audio-visual chronotope by letting Fukuda and Juan Castrillón's fieldwork footages=experiences correspond, mirror, follow, askew and shadow each other. The presentation will be presented at the panel titled Chronotopes during crisis: a sound-image-letter correspondence. INFO HERE.
