HOLE emerges through a crack, a fissure in space-time that happens by navigating through the intersections of thoughts, through the corners of memories, between the paths of childhood. A window opens here into a magical universe, where fantastic beings dance, driven by the rhythms of desire.
The first sketch for this film was made when my father decided to sell the ranch where I spent my entire childhood. I started to go through the photographs and drawings from that time, in order to keep my memories as a child alive. As I looked at these visual archives and analyzed the symbols in them, I transported myself to that place that for me was a parallel world, where I explored secret passages in which fantastic hybrid creatures [partly people, animal, water, earth, fire, air] lived.
During the process of writing the thesis, I noticed I was interested in love and desire, thinking about the affections built from my childhood until today. To visualize the characters and their costumes, I made collages on personal images and artists’ works* that touched on these themes. The collages turned into drawings that turned into material experiments that turned into costumes.
