A room is filled with a white noise sound coming from a small TV that shows a black screen with no other image than a written dialogue between two characters, as if they were subtitles for an absent scenario. It’s about an epistolary correspondence referring to unusual places. The floor is covered with wax tiles, beneath them there is a layer of white sand. What seems like a solid ground, breaks gradually under the viewer’s weight.

The texts in the video displays a correspondence between Pedro Marrero and Angyvir Padilla written during the residency ‘Una Casa no es Una Casa’ at La Macolla Creativa. Caracas, Venezuela.
