Iselsa and Cathy decided to be part of a project designed by leaders of social architecture, who will give them their own home and integrate them into a middle class neighborhood. The camera observes for 7 years: the lack of resources, a neighborhood that rejects them, problems in construction and the disaster caused by the rains. The most difficult thing will be to overcome the division of the community.

Easter Island is the second-most remote island from a continent in the world, after the Tristan da Cunha archipelago. It is located in the Pacific Ocean 3,680 kilometres away from Chile (of which it is part), inhabited for centuries by a population of Polynesian origin (for whom its name is Rapa-Nui). Exploited by European colonisers from the 18th century onwards, visited by archaeologists, anthropologists and tourists attracted by the moai, the large tuff statues that people its coastlines, and filmed thousands of times, it has a stable population and an administration that manages the existence of the community, including justice. The presence, on this isolated territory from which escape is difficult, of a prison, even if it is a building without walls, is therefore a bizarre paradox...

In the southernmost place in the world live the Yámanas, who survived and developed in one of the most inhospitable climates in the world. Today on the brink of extinction, its oldest survivors Úrsula and Cristina Calderón, invite us on a journey through its history, its myths, its language and its landscape. They are the last Footprint.

After an earthquake, forgetting is survival, and the camera shouldn't record the destruction but what remains standing, because that's what will disappear next time. “Earth in Motion” is a journey around the perimeter of an epicenter in search of the seismic human, that kind of nation scattered across the world that lives on the edge of tectonic plates and lacks a national identity.

In his travels through the southern sea of Chile, the privateer Francis Drake discovered a strange island. The extraordinary events that he lived there described in his travel diary have disappeared just like the island.

Videopoem from the series "the insidiousness of things"

The river current carries away a can of Coca-Cola

When I was a child, my Italian grandmother used to read aloud the letters she received in Chile from her relatives back home. My grandmother is still alive, but she inhabits a dimension where there is only room for her. This is a letter, from London to Latin America, in a last attempt to recover an ancient family rite.

A poem seeps into the cinematography. The word is image, and the meter, montage. Language as both sexual organ and organ of speech. The lovers' breath, pattern, musicality, ignites the found footage of old pornographic films, while the domestic remains when dawn breaks.

Last of the trilogy of visual letters
