Trailer
A seemingly ordinary action is recorded in a single take: a mass of potatoes cascades down the steps of the Centro Cultural Néstor Kirchner in Buenos Aires. Some cinephiles will see the image as a nod to the Lumière Brothers’ Employees Leaving the Lumière Factory (1895), or the famed Odessa Steps sequence in Soviet filmmaker Sergei M. Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin (1925). Executed and filmed by Gabriela Golder, this performance is loosely inspired by Analogía I (1970 – 1971), a seminal work by Víctor Grippo (1936 – 2002), who is considered the father of Argentinian conceptual art. Golder offers a re-reading, while evoking the social power of the masses that leads to movements and street occupations.
