Universidad Nacional De Colombia Sede Medellín presents “Fata Morgana”, a video group show with eleven artists. Fata Morgana is an optical phenomenon.the light is refracted and the heat distorts the images. The best known example is the view of the port of Sicily from the port of Calabria, a special kind of light that narrows the visual distance between territories.This exhibit stems from a desire to open un a new channel of circulation, Its aim is to create a space to find different parts of the world in the “Fata Morgana”.

(Antonio Barea): the space appropriation in the way that is journeyed and therefore is inhabited. The artist makes use of stop motion and transparencies in the video clips.

(Valeria Collonella): to share the ruses that you use to preserve the body temperature, sometimes, can help you to find equals.

(T-Yong Chung): it is at the moments of leisure, of exhaustive contemplation of the objects and common situations or when it is had only to itself, as a company that our capacity of astonishment awakes with renewed interest the utility of the results is null; but that already it is another discussion.

(Elizabeth Frolet): it’s a text about the ambiguity of our suffer and at the same time cruel heart... this video is conceived like a picture with few colors, red, black and white that make us face the suffering inevitability, at the same.

(Juan David Jaramillo): calentoscopio WARMSCOPE. Using as material, video extracts and noises of the not codified TV channels, the artist, interested in the of colors variety and textures, explores the pictorial possibilities of this media maleza PIC-NIC. A reflection about the memory and the time marks. Intervening directly on super 8 mm films of the family archive and with a loop of audio, the project suggest a dialogue between the video and the cinema, the past enters analogous and the present digitalis.

(Manuela De Los Angeles): to make public the intimate thing or to go deep in the difficulty that as migrant it must to get used to the cold winter in Italy, is a difficult task; with the moderation with which one is opened a matrioska, the artist, in a sequence level, shows as in the body the city also participates like an artist.

(Alejandra Arboleda): blue of the sky like bottom for chroma key, allows to locate the spectator glance in the solemn birds flight, that shielded in a calm musical track, makes forget its predatory vocation for a moment.

(Cho Yong Re): with a disquieting subjective camera and a lonely and upsetting route, it is worth the pain to ask itself: What are you escaping from?

(Eltjon Valle): like a voracious saurian of metal, artist eye documents the imposing structure of an oil well, still in construction, as a inventory the name of the oil company at the end of augurs a hostile future.

(Kang Jang Won): this daily scene, allows the sharpened eye, to find a colorful alternative tit.thin.

(Fani Zguro): “U Turn” operates and recycles analogous stories and places. The video isn’t simply a minimal version of Stone’s film: it tries all along to reach the fulcrum of history, that history continuosly repeating over the same interview or dialogue as in that fucking afternoon, always out there waiting for us.
