TORNEN LÁGRIMAS A INCENDIOS Sofía Peypoch
The body travels into the night. The shadows produce voids in the memory and there the losses are practiced. The body observes itself while it portrays and represents itself; the camera is the body

Critical text

A year before la tierra los altares Sofia Peypoch also explored the relations between body and image at tornen lágrimas a incendios. Filmed with a phone camera, the Mexican filmmaker explores nightlife images of a landscape through the pixel. Digital and nature become consequently one, with the body as a mediator. The subject melts with the environment itself and we find the poetical within mundane. The short film sets off with the words “This is a collection of instants perpetuated by your absence” and ends with the pixeled image of a body laying on a bed. The vision of home is surrounded by darkness, and silence hides the word. The power of image is found within the no-image, within what the camera cannot capture/recognise, within the record of night and what cannot be seen at it. tornen lágrimas a incendios is a proposition as corporeal as ethereal, an ode to the body (in and out of frame), or, quoting Peypoch, “a pointless exercise about the incapability of explaining to someone else what is like living in a body”. DANIELA URZOLA
