El estado psíquico de un barrio (2022)
Directed by Paola Vela
· 3m
François Penz noted that “documenting the city through films over time can potentially lead to a form of ‘cinematic urban archaeology,’ making visible the evolution of the modern city and its subsequent transformations since 1895.” Thus, this filmic exercise presents the subtle process of gentrification in a neighborhood through the pursuit of that archaeology that inspired Penz. In doing so, we observe buildings as symbols of a community’s psychological state, where the process of construction is understood as a social act. But this, far from being a cause for celebration, ultimately proves to be something disturbing for the community.
