‘Y ENTONCES EL MAR TE HABLA’
TUESDAY 12/6-SATURDAY 12/24. The Momentary, Bentonville. Free.

When was the final time you watched a 45-minute experimental video set up from the irritating, mass-produced black rubber of an internal tube, the digicam’s point-of-view splashing above and under the waterline of the Caribbean Sea? Now think about that you just’re sitting atop an identical raft, however it’s makeshift and sagging, and also you’re really traversing the treacherous, shark-infested waters between Cuba and Florida, making an attempt to to migrate to america among the many mid-’90s exodus of almost 35,000 Cubans. This juxtaposition, between comfortable, simulated wrestle and bonafide strife, is what Coco Fusco’s “Y entonces el mar te habla,” which interprets to “And the Sea Will Discuss to You,” endeavors to domesticate for its members. Overlaid with the harrowing audio testimonies of two opposing journeys, one from a household making that precise trek and the opposite from a girl who’s returning to Cuba along with her mom’s ashes, this immersive movie is performed on a loop at The Momentary. Even while you go away the theater and return residence, the pictures carry on going.

The submit ‘Y entonces el mar te habla,’ experimental video installation, premieres at The Momentary on Tuesday appeared first on Arkansas Times.
