Preliminary materials for 'Eyes the earth will swallow'

Randulfe, Dámaso (2023) Preliminary materials for 'Eyes the earth will swallow'. [Video]

Abstract

Two exhumations frame the stratigraphy of the Spanish Empire. On one end, the sixteenth-century extraction of Sumaq Urqu's silver violently inaugurates a new geological and civilisational era. On the other end, the ongoing search for thousands of mass graves unearths the mechanisms of fascist terror in twentieth-century Spain. Exploring the entanglement of these pivotal exhumations, this film charts a fossil ecology inscribed between the surface of the image and the depth of the earth.
