The Aquarium

THE AQUARIUM | Andrea Márquez | Los Angeles 2014 | 26′ 24” | 16 mm | Hand made



A film, even a fragmentary one, has a center which attracts it. This center if not fixed, but is displaced by the pressure of the film and circumstances of its composition. Yet it is also a fixed center which, if it is genuine, displaces itself, while remaining the same and becoming always more central, more hidden, more uncertain and more imperious. He who films that movie films it out of desire for this center and out of ignorance.
