S59 explores the representation of knowledge systems beyond Western epistemology. For this project, three types of beliefs, described in colonial texts, including the manuscript “ The extirpation of idolatry in Peru” by the Jesuit Pablo Joseph de Arriaga (1621), have been investigated. As studio scenes, the film rehearses actions on these representations.

ESTADOS GENERALES
Single channel, 16mm film transferred to digital video, 84 min, 2024 Since the colonial system, different polymorphous regimes of power extend and feed each other: colonialism, European modernity, anthropocentrism and Western technoscience. The film is conceived as a counter-narrative that explores the spectral capacity of the archive, offering a critical perspective to examine the continuity of contemporary neocolonial structures.
