This film is currently not available.   
Taking as its subject the emergence of a group of rocks after the draining of Lake Caburgua in the Araucanía region, *Mientras todo cambia* (While Everything Changes) inverts the logic of the lighthouse—erected to illuminate the twilight—to point, instead, to the place of an absence. The underlying reasons would come to light over time: a dam built by private individuals—with the consent of the so-called "General Directorate of Water"—had diverted the course of one of the lake's main tributaries. Through 16mm film, photochemical experiments, and the assembly of a multi-channel installation with analog projections, sensitive to the glare and friction of the surfaces presented to it, the artist explores the plastic transformations that manifest themselves both on celluloid and on the earth's crust. The exposure of these critical and delicate processes—mediated by layers, emulsions, and light reactions—reveals the audacity of those who, with no regard for the environment, seek to impose their own order and end up being overthrown.
