Casa del Aire (House of the Air)

This film is currently not available.   
A 5-minute 56-second video artwork by Peruvian artist Patricia Bueno, House in the Air recreates and manipulates elements from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds to explore the house as both refuge and cage. Combining performance, photography, film, ready-made objects, and comic imagery, birds become symbols of disruption and threats invading an apparently peaceful domestic and national space. The work contrasts melodramatic color sequences with black-and-white gestural imagery, using Andean carnival masks to examine identity, repression, and the uneasy relationship between the self and its surroundings.
