Deshilando luz
Color | 68:00
A film essay that intertwines the gazes of the filmmaker and textile artist Elsa Atilano. Its vignettes reflect the prayer of the mysteries of the Rosary—a meditation that, like textile work, is structured through repetition. Through this radiography of reminiscence, grief, and absence, among other themes, the filmmaker delves into the archive of her late mother, unraveling and honoring the traces of her existence.
