Great art direction and flawless cinematography in this video for Aloe by director Hernán Kacew of Buenos Aires-based Pantera & Company (previously featured here). Starring actress and performance artist, Margarita Molfino, “Cuándo Será” follows a woman moving in the periphery of an unfamiliar setting filled with equally unfamiliar inhabitants. As Kacew explains:
“We wanted to create an environment slightly displaced from reality, where objects as well as characters seem alien yet familiar at the same time. In this setting our main character suffers various transformations, both in a very bodily manner but also through her most modest gestures. Ultimately, there is a primitive key factor in how her surroundings learn and adapt to her movements and expressions.”
