"Letter Adrift" is a video installation that explores displacement, belonging, and constant change through an analogy between the binary process and the word.

The installation features three videos with a digital data-like appearance: one in positive (white background with black letters) and another in negative (black background with white letters). There's also a third video where the previous videos merge, transitioning from pure white to total black.

Through the disarticulation, displacement, and repetition of words and symbols composing a poem, images are created, forming a fabric of meanings, proposing multiple interpretations, and always holding an encrypted secret within.

These drifting letters are "spun" from small fragments that offer diverse interpretations but always contain an element of indecipherability. They are structured like a fan of possible connections, displaying different versions of a unit that never fully expose themselves. They are incomplete images, structured through absences, only revealed through concentration on the fragmentary.

With this installation, the aim is to explore the complexity and depth of communication, and how words and their interpretations can be changing and enigmatic, like a constant flow in which meaning drifts.

"Tuve que disentir, / ocultarme, / desaparecer. / Tuve / que ser disonancia. / Tuve que dejarme ir / a la deriva / sin explicar.”

"I had to dissent, / hide, / disappear. / I had / to be dissonance. / I had to let myself go, / adrift, / without explaining.”

Fragment from "Intemperie" 1977 by poet Rafael Cadenas, translated personally from Spanish to English.
