Compasión is an experimental, sample-based music and audiovisual project built from samples of Argentine folk singer Chaqueño Palavecino.
The piece combines electronic music production and sampling with a video montage made from fragments of Argentine gauchesca and folkloric imagery. I collaborated with filmmaker and editor Andrés Medina, who edited the video component of the project.
The project explores cultural identity, popular music, tradition and the transformation of existing audiovisual material into a new artistic context.
Compasión was exhibited at Orbit in Zurich as a continuous audiovisual installation. Presented in a street-facing gallery window, the song and video played continuously for 24 hours a day, turning the work into an ongoing public listening and viewing experience.
