Acción para un río contaminado (Action for a polluted river)

This film is currently not available.   
The pollution of the Aulencia River's surroundings is a consequence of the water supply for the Community of Madrid in Spain. 'Action for a Polluted River' collects contaminated material from the first discharge point of the Valmayor Reservoir wastewater treatment plant, which releases sludge along with sewage into the river, and presents it in a video performance.
With dark matter traveling like a pollutant across the water's surface, a new form of representation of a real environmental problem is created through a cyclical and fluid experience. This video performance lasts 13 minutes and 50 seconds, the time it takes the performer to cover the entire structure. The video's sound is ambient noise, capturing the movement of human hands, allowing the viewer to appreciate both the repeated strokes of mud on the concrete and the sound of the river's current.
