by

After making the sixth version of Proceso de Error, International Festival of Experimental Video in Valparaíso, part of the official video sample moves to Coquimbo. In addition, a free workshop will be held for those who want to learn and experiment with video and body.

Process of Error seeks to expand experimental video and film hybrids. To share the festival's programming, a official exhibition entitled "There are no innocent images" in the Palace Cultural Center, (Aldunate 599, Coquimbo region), on November 4 at 6:00 p.m. The activity is free and open to all public.

For those who are interested in being able to learn about video, a workshop on “Video Dance – Antecedent Body” by Bárbara Trejo, audiovisual producer and artist. The activity is free and the schedule is from 3:00 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. in Palace Cultural Center.

The workshop "Video Dance - Antecedent Body" seeks to share audiovisual tools with people who come from dance and embody testimonies of the territory, a sensory container that the video materializes in the background. Symbols and images can narrate what we feel, and there are various tools of cinematographic language that can help us represent these sensations. The opening is what makes it easier to faithfully approach our speech, and we can achieve this through basic somatic movement exercises.

Bárbara Trejo has been an audiovisual director since 2009, creator of Descalza / Cuerpo Audiovisual. Her works have been exhibited at festivals in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, among other places. She has participated in various instances of training around the body and video / photography in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. She is a Contact Improvisation dance practitioner and part of the EnPractisa collective in Valparaíso. She currently creates, together with a group of women, the video and photography collective Avivar.

To register, you must write to the Error Process Facebook event or to the email inveplataforma@gmail.com. Both activities are organized by INVE, the Arts Platform and the Palace Cultural Center.

Curatorial text:
Every image is political. All sound is political. All action is political and of course, all inaction. Bombarded by images every day, they anesthetize us, condition us, normalize us. An image is not beautiful because it is, it is a cultural conditioning. There is violence in the images regardless of whether it is explicit or implicit. We need new ways of looking. See with other eyes. To see again. This exhibition is presented as a dissident look at the normative in politics. There are codes and common places that these works skip, reappropriate, parody. Seeing is never a passive act, it should never be. You have to generate criticism, thought, ideas. It is true, the classic counter-political registers must exist and must circulate, but there is also and must be space for those who think in a different way from the informative, who work tangentially, bordering the issue, bordering the problem and instead of providing answers, raise more questions. Plant a seed in the mind and wait for it to germinate, there are no innocent images.
