Juliana Castro Duperly (CO)

| | |

Structured around the artist’s father’s last-written letters before his passing, this meditation on love and the natural Colombian world takes on a dream-like fantasy quality. Multiple phones with fractured screens flicker in time with the recorded and isolated audio of butterflies’ wings beating, creating a kind of naturally occurring morse code that beckons the audience into a life beyond death.
