CELL EXHALATION / 2018
Frames from "Cell Exhalation", 9 minute video piece by Gabriela Gonzalez and Kathleen Gonzalez
This collaboration was a mutual inner call.
Gabriela and Kathleen were having similar questions about women cycles, the relationship between dreams and reality in women and how all these questions fit in our everyday life as well as in our creative lives facing constantly our personal transformation that happen day by day making art.
We worked around the concepts of the relationship of our bodies and memories with the land. Coming from different parts of South America, we want to think about how and in which form we connect our life history and ceremonial rituals with the land that we now inhabit.

As a dancer, Kathleen uses her body creating a specific and sacred universal narrative through her performance.
We see her and multiple versions of her on screen. The image transcends its own transformation through her body in a dance. It’s a Female’s origin encounter; It is the intimate relationship within the natural environment as the reflection of the myth of vital-cosmic wisdom.
