La gran mentira de la muerte

Visual arts

La gran mentira de la muerte (The Big Lie of Death) is a sound-based and cinematographic installation that explores the figure of Carmen via interplay between the performative worlds of flamenco and bullfighting. In resonance with Bizet's opera, these practices evoke death and involve the audience, giving rise to a form of tension between ritual and the violent traditions of cinema.
