Marco Morocho
Marco Morocho addresses the genre of landscape based on the idea of the interstice, that intermediate space from which he dialogues elements, narratives, and concerns about the post-apocalyptic notion, and from where he approaches atmospheres that reveal the traces of the subject or the consequences of the continuous becoming. His scenarios, elements, and narratives unfold in fictional situations, generating strange and ambiguous atmospheres.
