Los Huesos
overview
《狼隱之家》（42 屆）導演假借世上首部定格動畫出土，在仿似重新修復的十六米厘破落影像裏，隱見原住民少女施行驅魔儀式，骷髏顛簸舞動，軀體凌亂錯置，傳召憲法兩大始作俑者魂魄，為智利過去的黑暗政治破詛解咒。
Los huesos is a fictitious account of the world’s first stop-motion animated film. Dated 1901 and excavated in 2021 as Chile drafts a new Constitution, the footage documents a ritual performed by a girl who appears to use human corpses. Emerging in the ritual are Diego Portales and Jaime Guzmán, central figures in the construction of authoritarian and oligarchic Chile.
DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT
We understand our works as rituals, incantations or spells. We imagine Los huesos as a myth of origin of animation, and at the same time as a ritual that channels and interprets the energy of the historical moment happening in Chile today.
