MISSION: EL DESIERTO
MISSION: EL DESIERTO is a video essay produced by Museum of Modern Mars for Follow the Dust, an online
exhibition curated by Clara Bolívar. Functioning between trailer and first episode, this 7-minute work follows
lost space traveler Menni Toto Pú', whose archive is traced by fellow traveler Totopú Arr a Manni. Set as a
fictional essay in the near future, the film recontextualizes archival footage with photographs from various
landscapes to examine how ecology and memory move, dissipate, and relocate across time and territory.
"These nine artistic research projects follow the dust to wonder about that minimal matter in constant movement that results from the wear produced by the interaction between bodies and materials, which is lifted by the wind to relocate it and bury it again until chance and circumstance dictate another place for it." — Clara Bolívar, Follow the Dust
