Maíz

This piece is an audiovisual “collage”, created from a repertoire of sounds and images related to food and flashes of memory that succeed and transcend in families despite the inevitable exiles, comings and goings. After intensive field work with interviews, conversations and culinary moments, it was interesting for the artist to discover in Madeiran, African, Arabic, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese recipes, the generosity with which these immigrants who inhabit Vouzela handed over a part of them, and in all these cases CORN was presented as something primitive, permanent and savior.
