Description:
"Falta" is a multi-screen video installation featuring the traditional Basque ball-game called chistera, a game played in the Basque Country of Northern Spain and Southern France. Seven different viewpoints, shown simultaneously, take the spectator traveling through an underground culture of female players of this mysterious game.
The artist is interested in the potential of digital images and stories which invite the spectator to question his habits of perception. The viewer is encourages to follow an active game. The images of the match are interrupted by close-up shots of the player's bodies in slow motion, emphasizing moments of tension and the confrontation between the human body and architecture. This installation takes the spectator traveling through an underground culture of female players of this mysterious game. |
