Padre nuestro

Overview

As part of the Mono no Aware workshops in Brooklyn, NY, Felipe Esparza's Untitled #2 (Padre Nuestro) is a strange object. Shot on 16mm and transferred to DiJiFi, this experimental short presents the intense treatment of intervened celluloid, beginning with images from World War II accompanied by a timeless operetta song, which creates a sense of floating, in clear antagonism to what is presented on screen and traversing the theme of genesis, the creation of life in its second part.
