Sueño Perro

more pictures .:. A couple of decades after becoming famous for his Amores Perros movie, Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Mexico City, 1963) realized that over a million feet of footage left on the cutting room floor while editing were still in storage at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The twenty-fifth anniversary (2000-2025) of the director's debut work seemed a good opportunity to reconsider the leftovers, show significant sequences to an international audience in leading cultural institutions – in Mexico as well as in California, beside here in Milan – and putting vintage technologies and aging professionals at work once more, a quarter of century later.
.:. Analogic projectors tear through the darkness of the Fondazione Prada's Podium exhibition hall, terrifying visitors with chilling scenes from Mexico City at the turn of the millennium – everything in Amores Perros came from Iñárritu's personal experience, the director maintains – and make them feel lucky they were not born there at the time.
.:. So why go and visit the Podium? First, because Iñárritu received more than thirty international awards, and there must be a reason for it. Second, because the social situation of Mexico at the time of Amores Perros is extensively and impressively llustrated in a room upstairs. Third, because "in an age dominated by artificial intelligence and digital pervasiveness, you are invited to step into an analogue and handcrafted world of visual and emotional intensity." It's like dreaming, where the characters are familiar to us but we do not know yet how they will behave.
