Uncertainty
Director: Liliana Inés Cabrera
Country: Argentina
Uncertainty (2022), is an audiovisual piece created by Liliana Cabrera (poet and member of the collective YoNoFui). The images transmit the different sensations that remain after incarceration. Among them, is uncertainty. Navigating different projections of the past, of other possible worlds, of the City of Buenos Aires, of the present, of the space and time that the State expropriates; of that time of the “outside” that at times seems to continue parallel. These projections run through while we reflect on confinement and the punitive justice installed in our lives beyond prison. At the same time, we try to escape creating other bonds, from the networks we create.
