ARE WE EVER (18min, single-channel video, 2021)

Created, Directed and Edited by Hugo Gallo

In a collective effort of improvisation and composition, a mysterious image unfolds outside the frame. A temporary community attempts to move together towards something invisible. Description becomes a way of carving and melding.

Part of an expanded cinema project in which participants perform games that aim to investigate the relationship between image and language in the process of human communication and meaning-making.

AND NOW, THE ALPHABET! (video/performance, 2021)

Created, Directed and Performed by Hugo Gallo

Live-performance, video, and text converge in this fruitless attempt of auto-fictional wool-gathering. A mix of performance lecture, studio-visit, and clown act. 

Part of a larger examination of possibilities in re-performing familial archives.Gestures of reconcilliation toward memory, childhood, body, language,and failure.
