Manifold
'Manifold' is a term used in geometry as a generalisation on the concept of surface, no matter the number of dimensions it has. The video that receives this title is composed entirely of a single contact sheet depicting an industrial landscape, bought in a flea market in New York City. By selecting and sequencing each one of these frames, the video organizes a fictional narrative centred in a female figure which is recurring in these photographs. She embodies the text shown as subtitle to the images, describing the space as an incongruous and self-destructive superposition of different times.
