Metrópolis de Identidades

”Metropolis de identidades”

2023 - Audio: Facundo Campi / Visuals: Ricardo Kim

In every process of identity development, there are moments of chaos and order that interplay, enhance, and directly influence the state of the elements and values at play within a person. Not only emotions and experiences, but also cultural and social values are reordered in each moment. In this ebb and flow of states (chaos and order), the same components are reinterpreted according to the context. The result of identity development is an ever-changing myriad of shape-shifting, new values, or old ones that vary in relation to the whole: identity is an ever-evolving gestalt result.

In this work, our exploration was based on the utilization of minimal abstract elements. These elements undergo four different states of configurations where the sense of totality changes, giving rise to new possible meanings, both visually and sonically. We drew inspiration from the eclectic architecture of Buenos Aires, our hometown, as visual references. The metropolis, with its combinations of heterogeneous elements, where opposites and multiplicities of contexts can coexist. The sounds are based on Korean instruments, providing a contrasting variation. The dialogue between these two sensory dimensions reinforces the idea of the multiplicity of possible outcomes.
