In the process of working with some mentally challenged people, the author ran into an old woman who repeatedly covered her face with her hands, staging an unrehearsed performance that deeply magnifies the impotence and helplessness of the viewer. Intervening the image and creating a cyclic action with the gesture, the character becomes a pathetic metaphor of life in general and the situation of the region in particular.


Carlos Fernando Osuna Sarmiento was born in Santafé de Bogotá, Colombia on September 20, 1980. He graduated from the Fine Arts School of the Javeriana University in Bogotá. He has participated in numerous exhibitions and festivals, among them the Cartagena and Santafé de Bogotá International Film Festivals (2002), and the Berlinale Talent Campus at the Berlin Film Festival (2004). His video Mira la tele (Watch TV, 2001) received a Golden pre-Columbian Circle award at the 2002 Bogotá Film Festival, and an Honorable Mention at the First Latin American and Caribbean Video Art Competition and Exhibition of the IDB Cultural Center (Washington, D.C.). His film production includes more than a dozen works, and a score of multimedia presentations. He was awarded an Honorable Mention for Academic Excellence at the Javeriana University in 2003.
