M-HOLE (2024)

Video-reality film, showing the archive of a week in the life of Ian and his relationship with drugs and different subcultures in Madrid. In digital video format, the film works with the “poor image” and is constructed through the documented archive of a real week, where the camera appears as another character, a machinic-sensitive extension of the protagonist himself. Ian constructs landscapes (sonorous and visual) to document the residual dissociative experience of his relationship with various drugs throughout a period of his life. The film M-HOLE constitutes both a therapeutic and documentary attempt to expose, through the archive, the aesthetic experiences that follow him during a week of his life. This experimental-documentary film addresses the issues faced by youth in confronting precarity and chemical policies in relation to the pathological avalanche of our times.
