Art

With Flying River / Rio Volador, Felipe Castelblanco and Lydia Zimmermann create an expanded cinema experience for public space. This work—a combination of large video projections on architectural façades with landscape images from the Colombian Andean- Amazon region—invites for a visual counter-expedition of contested biocultural territories. Recorded over the last the last three years, the film weaves together a visually stimulating journey across the Pan-Amazon region. Following the upward movement of water (from river to clouds) while climbing up from the Putumayo River in the lower Amazon to a lake in the upper Andes, this piece reveals how water morphs and changes along altitudinal zones in the Andean-Amazon region. Going from rain to river, from river to mist, and from mist to dense clouds that travel eastward over the Amazon, the film reveals a subtle natural phenomenon in which water connects remote landscapes below, across, and above the forest.
