Agricola de Cologne MPC 2011

New video release announced

Agricola de Cologne announces the release of a new video, entitled:
Sinamaica – Embarkments

Differently than other videos, the film is not focussing on the experimental aspects, but uses film material shot while the artist was visiting Sinamaica – a region near Maracaibo/Venuzuela close to the Colombian boarder, where aboriginals are living on wooden huts on the waters of the laguna of Sinamaica.

The film shows in three episodes how local people use the wooden boats as their way of communicating, moving and determing one’s life.
