Short | Nonfiction | 19’ | 2024 | U.S.A | Digital
A spatial exploration of Miami, and the endless pursuit of the American Dream in an era of immigrant mass mobilization, the absurd dominance of wealth and border securocracy.
Much like the people it is about, No se ve desde acá is suspended in that stasis between arriving and finding belonging, moving associatively through observational vignettes in contemporary Miami. This, juxtaposed with a disruptive collection of video and sound archives that range as far back as the 1930’s, revealing an obsession with American individualism and collective uncertainty.
