What is Still Life 1 about?
Bodegón performs a trans-Baroque (mis)appropriation of the pictorial genre of the bodegón (or still life), which emerged in the 17th century alongside the merchant bourgeoisie, to trace a constellation of histories of violence, dispossession and colonization that shaped (and shape) global commerce. The piece comprises a series of five essays that work both together and individually. Each essay studies the migration processes of an object: oranges, pineapples, feathers, poppies and corn. Seen together, they trace a bodegón that spans more than a thousand years, going from China to Europe and passing through Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States. The story is brought to life by director Unidad de Montaje Dialéctico. With a runtime of 17 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
