Mexican filmmaker and academic Pablo Martínez Zárate offers a piece that invites reflection on the role of art in a world plunged into a social and humanitarian crisis. Filmed in Super 8 and 16 mm formats in locations significant for art and cinema — such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the International School of Film and Television of Cuba (EICTV) — this fragmentary essay challenges the viewer: What is the meaning, relevance, and role of art in the face of the trivialization of the image generated by the ubiquity of digital technologies?
