Made in collaboration with Gabriel Acevedo Velarde, Olinda–Celeste is an animation created from images of façade tiles photographed in Olinda, Pernambuco State. Each tile photo is a cell that is repeated in the digital rendition of massive virtual walls, and the camera, fictitious as well, moves along these walls in different directions and speeds, in seemingly random movements. When the camera retracts or returns on the same path, it does not find the tiles we had seen there just before. Watching Olinda–Celeste is like momentarily experiencing a loss of recent memory and the spatial disorientation it entails.
