Casa íntima
When I was told of the imminent demolition of a house in Bogotá’s Chapinero neighborhood –a house inhabited by one family’s several generations– I made it my business to learn about what had transpired there. During a whole year, I frequented and talked with the mother, Helena Uribe; her three daughters, Erna, Erika, and Giselle Von der Walde; and with friends as well as tenants that had been there at one time or another. I made interviews and recorded everyday scenes, among them the moving and the demolition. Later on, I turned all of that material into a piece consisting of four simultaneous video projections. With this work, I expected that the spectators –as they stood in the middle of the exhibit hall– would experience a state of loss and of familiar as well as urban violence.
