“Agrícola y Ganadera” 13min - 2004
“Agrícola y Ganadera” focuses on the geography
of the argentine pampas, more specifically on the southern geography
of the Cordoba providence, historically known as a “agrícola
y ganadera” zone with a strong presence of immigrant communities
from Italy or Spain.
Taking this as a starting point, the work traces parallels between
the concept of “zone” and the marks of violence, frustration
or repressed joy that the geography prints on the inhabitants of
this lands. By means of an disjoined and empathic narration spaces
are being searched and built for “tanáico” rituals,
personal experiences and the search of common roots.
