Idea
Conceived as a counter-narrative that explores the spectral capacity of the archive, 'ESTADOS GENERALES' re-imagines the return voyage of a parcel of seeds from this deposit back to the place where they were picked on the southern coast of Perú.
Since the colonial system, different polymorphous regimes of power extend and feed each other: colonialism, European modernity, anthropocentrism and Western technoscience. The film is conceived as a counter-narrative that explores the spectral capacity of the archive, offering a critical perspective to examine the continuity of contemporary neocolonial structures.
