Fractals

"...Fragmenting Nature to build a non-place. Patterns come together to form a totality that could expand infinitely—permanent, superimposed, inexhaustible.

How do we perceive the Nature we are a part of? What do we claim as ours? What feels foreign? And what ultimately contains us?..."

Claudio Logaldo

This work is built from tens of thousands of fragmented, overlapping videos—scenes captured in various ecosystems across Latin America. Each fragment becomes a part of a larger pattern, continuously shifting and evolving.

Pattern 1, the floor: videos are layered and projected to form a new, dynamic shape—an organic movement created from the merging of countless fragments. Pattern 2 (Video and Wall 1) contains Pattern 1, but flattened and starting at different points in time, with over 20 initial variations layered on top of Pattern 1 itself. It is like painting with video.

Each subsequent pattern—Video 2, Video 3, and so on—emerges from the one before, until a final composition is reached in Video 7. Every new pattern builds upon the previous, creating a recursive visual system that continues to evolve.

The soundscape is composed from dozens of audio tracks, recorded from the various ecosystems that were filmed. These natural sounds are layered and intertwined, creating an auditory experience that complements the visual work, immersing the viewer in a composition built specifically for the piece.
