De Doble Filo

In the video De Doble Filo, Clemencia Echeverri highlights the intensity of catastrophes brought about by human beings‘ destructive capacity, which is akin to the power of natural forces. However, the momentum of the devastation generated by human groups and individuals assumes increasing proportions and does not seem to follow cycles of alternating construction and destruction. The image of the woman that unceasingly draws house after house, knowing that those will be razed an equal number of times by a rust-colored torrent of water, suggests as well the destruction of the family’s web, of the nucleus of larger communities.
