Abajo y a la izquierda
Below and to the Left
The Chilean artist and filmmaker Martín Baus assembles a political object that can be found below and to the left, in the same place where Latin America is located (if we place Europe in the centre of the map). Guerrilla radio broadcasts, voices from Godard’s first film or photographs of the Ecuadorian tropical forest compose his resistant found footage, a cocktail of old sounds and slogans that reverberates in contemporary times.
