Locked down during the pandemic, Malicho Vaca Valenzuela assembles a collage of collective memories—a personal archival experiment that becomes a theatrical object. Through digital platforms, he delves into his own biography and the history of his city, Santiago de Chile—exploring both the recent past and the deep wounds of social uprisings and past dictatorships. An experience that focuses on concrete locations and reveals an emotional topography.
A motionless journey to the narrow passageway where three generations of his family lived.
A sensitive, political, and intimate biographical documentary essay: What becomes of our traces when we are no longer here? Will anything of us remain in the streets of our cities? Can memory be mapped?
