The Isle of Medea
What type of identity are we preserving when we move through the spaces and bodies around us? How do we affect and how are we affected by those bodies? This film proposes to the audience a reflection on the importance of the contact of our body with the space for a better understanding of our meaning as a species. And the film shows this by comparing Jaime Refoyo's body and its movement with other bodies that inhabit the space of the streets and the metro of a city like Barcelona. To think them from the outside, perhaps. To see the human being from eyes not only human, but also from the eyes of the space that surrounds her. To this end the film reveals a geometry that enables the traces of our past and our present to interrelate. And this is possible precisely for the relationship through the touch between bodies.
