A sound that arrives late to an image proposes to design posters for an imaginary film - a road movie around a couple who seeks to build an idea of ​​home while traveling. A plotless fiction that navigates between the desire to achieve an idea of ​​shared happiness and the alienating self-awareness of the limits of the language with which each person translates their reality. Invoking the image of posters that aspire to be cinema, rather than their mere allusion, I reflect on the mismatch between perception and language, experience and description, event and translation.

​

Through the mimicry and recontextualization of the elements that constitute the language of analog cinema and analog sound, the appropriation of an iconography of happiness, and a dilution of the boundaries between the manual and the mechanical, I explore a plastic approach to the poster format. Taken as an object beyond an image, the posters become a metaphor for this search for a sense of existence beyond the self and the other.
