LANDSCAPE I
2006-2007

The landscape as a background for very personal sensations and reflections is taken up, introducing two aspects: the poetic monologue spoken by the artist herself and the appearance of the artist as the protagonist in an installation for 5 screens together with a spatial composition.

Villamiel - the inner voice
2007 / 15 min. / 4:3 / Language: Spanish
Premiere: MADRID FILM FESTIVAL - PNR 2009
Círculo de Bellas Artes, Madrid

„The changes are sometimes very subtle, only small modifications, discreet appearances that seem insignificant. Little by little they accumulate, they become bigger and bigger, they solidify, creating another reality. You want to move without letting yourself move.

You have created a small world and you like it. It has its comforts, its certainties, its customs, it's clear. And there is room for surprises.
Are you afraid?

You make a leap: the world is even wider, there is a reality beyond the visible, bigger than you have imagined so far. And a few weeks later everything has changed and I am surprised by the way I looked at myself.

There is a total solitude - you lose yourself in space and finally you are intimate with yourself and it gives you a feeling of freedom, of timeless grandeur and energy, grandiose expansion and you realise that you are smiling....˜
(quote: monologue written and spoken by the artist)


excerpt from the presentation at espacio menosuno with live music, 2007

A thousand and one attempts to touch reality
2007 / 19 min. / 4:3 / mute
Premiere: Cruce - arte y pensamiento, Madrid, 2007
with live music by Ebba Rohweder, flutes

The feeling of living in a permanent state of volatility and instability, of a ground that is constantly slipping away under one's feet and a bottom that has no foundation gave rise to an almost desperate search for something secure and firm, solid and consistent.

But absolutely everything immediately becomes elusive and fluctuating. A reflection oscillates within another reflection and a hesitant movement interposes itself between the appearance of the supposedly achieved reality and moves away with no other choice but to try once more to touch reality.

The search takes place both day and night, in the sun or in the rain, including found materials and details inside and outside a house that becomes a magical object.

Conclusion: Reality as a longed-for reality does not exist but is what it is - a temporary, floating appearance.


extract from the video Carnal memory. Walking.

Carnal memory. Walking.
2006 / 4:3 / installation part I - V
Video installation for 5 screens and spatial electroacoustic composition
Premiere of the main part: Cyclo EM-Hoeren, Technical University of Berlin

A glade enclosed by overgrown vegetation and an enveloping, almost paradisiacal atmosphere awakens the sensation of a claustrophobic and threatening space with the slow passage of time.

The concentrated immobility, its presence, which one does not know whether it is waiting, walking for the sake of walking without direction, listening to the light brushing of the leaves caused by a rising breeze, causes a multitude of perceptions and sensations that exceed the mere inhabited territory of the field of vision.

The enveloping sound of a spatial electroacoustic composition permeates virtually the entire space separated only by projections in various dimensions superimposed on one another as if to avoid the possibility of standing on the fringes of events.
