Selection: Nau Côclea
Pere Portabella, at a recent presentation of “The Silence before Bach” told the audience: “I cannot tell anything because I have no arguments”, a play of words that suggests systematic flight from narratives with a plot in order to give viewers freedom and power of interpret. This is a factor with which videocreation, like music, the visual arts or dance, has been familiar for some time.
Nau Côclea proposes these young artists to Loop because of the aptness of their affinity and topography. They all have a common peripheral, almost borderline approach to videographic creation: with a slant towards film, philosophy, politics or electronics, they orbit the video with strange ellipses, and, naturally, without a plot.
