Portrait of a Mexico City neighborhood where pages and pages are printed, and little by little, words appear. Máquinas de Palabras is a performance created in March 2023 in Mexico City, and is the result of a collaboration between Labo K (Rennes-based film laboratory) and LEC (Laboratorio de Cine Experimental) in Mexico City. A portrait of a Mexico City neighborhood where pages and pages are printed. And little by little, words appear... "From the deliberate use of found images to films that make uncompromising use of raw material, the camera and the plants will take our eyes... Pupils will certainly be illuminated by the projector... How can moving images stay in our heads?"

Titan was born from the desire to experiment with the possibilities of screen printing directly on 16 mm film and the possible dialogues with the chemistry of silver film. One bringing the color, the rhythm of a frame and the other the concealment, and the precision of a frame-by-frame construction. The soundtrack is the result of silkscreen printing which also covers the soundtrack of the film. It is remixed and modulated live during the projection.

Performance for one 16mm projector operated by four hands, with variable-form sound improvisation. Created entirely using 16mm magnetic film perforated with a sewing machine, the live projector operation reveals a broth of original cell cultures, extending to birds traversing the screen.
