"Tiempo Del Ruido: An AudioVisual Experience" - presented live on October 25, 2018 the performance of the contemporary sound piece composed and performed by La Paralela, recorded in the Arbol Naranja studio by Paula Peña, and accompanied by projections of experimentation photographic and audiovisual work by Susana Carrié and Enrico Mandirola, the result of which is a temporary interweaving between contemporary Bogotá and colonial Santafé within the Santa Clara Museum, built between 1619 and 1647, and therefore a witness to the event. The "Great Noise of Bogotá" was a singular and inexplicable event that occurred in Santafé on March 9, 1687 around 10 p.m., and that for approximately 15 minutes terrified the people of Santa Fe, according to Jesuit chroniclers. The phenomenon ended that same night, never appeared again and left no physical evidence, but nevertheless forged a collective myth and the expression "Time of Noise" to refer to a distant era of uncertainty and darkness. It is perhaps the first of many thunderous noises that, like April 9, 1948, the guerrilla takeover of the Palace of Justice in 1985 or the numerous bombs planted since the 1980s, continue to deafen Bogotá Colombia, a city located in the middle of the Andes. "Tiempo Del Ruido: An AudioVisual Experience" was the winning project of the Interdisciplinary Creation Scholarship of the District Institute of the Arts of Bogotá - Idartes in 2018, and its purpose is to offer viewers new ways to enjoy heritage, and raise awareness and promote citizen reflection on phenomena of local memory and urban history that have contributed to building a singular Bogotá imaginary.

What do you dream? Bogota 2012

How many times have I passed by beings like these, who abandon their battered bodies on street corners, surrendering their souls to their dreams as the last way out or the first surrender.

 

In general, I am very reluctant to photograph these characters, either out of modesty or fear of falling into the common place of pornomiseria.

 

But this time I succumbed to the ambiguity and terrifying force of this vision. Chance had meticulously prepared the scene; the light that shamelessly bathed that face of inexplicable placidity in contrast to that belly lacerated by the traces of a maternity –perhaps– degraded by the misfortune of this war, which has left so many people without land and without a place in the fields, while Plant these withered flowers in the cities.

 

Years later, the photograph was published in the central pages of the alternative opinion newspaper Universo Centro (2015).  In 2018, the photograph became this small video piece that was installed in the pit of the Santa Clara museum as part of the work Times of Noise.  Interdisciplinary creation scholarship IDARTES 2018. and it was also installed in the exhibition Bogotá, Belleza, Amnesia y Nightmare .
