We see the body of a running woman appear and disappear. Her naked body escapes its own image, bringing our skin into the vicinity of a memory of fear. A hand writes down a secret code. Everything starts and ends with a breath, and inside this invisible space is where the story takes shape.
labOfilm/1 is a site-specific filmic device for capturing and recording, which involves all active agents of vision, attention and listening. This device experiments with space-time strategies and becomes real when the viewer interferes with his or her expectations of capture and attention: watching together does not mean seeing the same thing.

Olga Mesa also presents in the frame of LP'09 the performance Solo a ciegas (con lágrimas azules)
