Work in progress, Chile. Video-installation.
The work will consist of a video-installation filmed in November 2021 between the Chilean cities of Santiago and Talagante, taking as a starting point the inter-species relationship between humans and birds, their identifications and de-identifications, to observe old and new projections of freedom. From the heated political debates of the Chilean spring of 2021, Marcel establishes a connection between the old astronomical observatory of Santiago, situated in the Cerro Calán and built during the Cold War, and the machinic military control of space, through the production of drone images that simulate and incorporate one of the oldest perspectives of domination of territories: the bird's-eye view.
