CUERPA MOSTRA Experimentalfilm von Alina Bardavid

An experimental short film that reflects on monstruosity as a method. Live-action footage, hand-built electronic prosthetics and e-waste are combined with self-produced body sound and open-source AI generative processes. Microförderung der Produktion.

Generative artificial intelligence was built for flawless efficiency, selling us a modern fantasy: the tools to create a body without consequence, without effort, without dissidence, a body that is always legible, always clean, always already erased of its own monstrousness. These tools seek a smooth, optimized, and painless world where creation is supposedly freed from the wear and tear of human anatomy. But what happens when we refuse this bland and sterile digital detachment? Cuerpa Mostra was born from the direct collision between the algorithmic promise of an unfeeling body and the agonizing, tangible reality of chronic physical pain. Like a modern-day Frankenstein stitched together not just from flesh, but from data, prosthetics and plastic trash, the project reflects on what kind of monsters emerge when we drag the digital gaze back into the human wounded body.

CUERPA MOSTRA is a project by Alina Bardavid that reflects on monstrosity as a method, combining live-action footage, handmade prosthetics, and e-waste with self-produced body sound and open-source AI generative processes to create an experimental short film. Developed during a two-week residency aboard the boat Dauerwelle, the work transforms the boat’s interior through a re-skinning process using mainly plastic waste. The space becomes both the film set and the organism that produces the images. The exhibition will be open from April 9 to 12, 15:00–18:00, aboard MS Dauerwelle, Europahafen.

Die Microförderung wird ermöglicht durch institutionelle Förderung des Filmbüros durch den Senators für Kultur Bremen und durch Spendengelder.
