Autorretrato Sonoro

In a radical journey to find rhythmic synchronicities between the Peruvian landscape and a free musical form, Lima native Manongo Mujica directs this film, in which he also plays percussion, exploring a conceptual path guided by a quote from Jorge Luis Borges, who suggests that a self-portrait can be constructed from an accumulation of disparate elements. With his drum kit on the shore, where the boundaries between water and land blur, Mujica plays accompanied by a kind of violinist-monk; all framed by an omnipresent and vibrant geography that ultimately intertwines with the performances to create a true soundscape.
