Algures    Video art · 2020

Through a selection of images from Google Earth and Street View, the film "Algures" portrays the present day. The search for images emerged organically. During each trip made through the virtual platforms, Jonas Sanson realized that different places, however distinct and distant, were connected by common scenes of everyday life. The research featured more than 2,500 screenshots presented together with the track "O que vejo", from the Gumiber project, at a frenetic but harmonious pace. As we digest the abundance of stimuli, we lose sight of what's in front of us. The banal scenes that are daily repeated around the world come alive in this film when arranged in sequence. Attention calls for attention: we are everywhere, present nowhere. For a life that does not go unnoticed, you need eyes that not only see, but watch.
