MISSION: EL DESIERTO
Museum of Modern Mars has produced the first video essay in a forthcoming series for this exhibition. This video entitled MISSION: EL DESIERTO is an essay narrative, functioning between a trailer and an episode 1. The themes focus on migration in relation to space tourism, ecology and geographic memory under the guise of a fictional essay set in the future. This 7-minute-long introduction is about lost space traveler Menni Toto Pú’ whose archive is traced by fellow space traveler Totopú Arr a Manni. MISSION: EL DESIERTO re-contextualizes cosmic archival footage with photographs from various landscapes creating a space to explore the nature in which ecology and memory move, dissipate, and ultimately become a malleable space for exploring numerous narratives.
"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".- Curated by Clara Bolívar
