“Bajo el cielo cayendo (Under the Falling Sky)” constructs a miniature world within a maquette, where staged disasters—human-made accidents and ecological collapse—coexist with fragile scenes of emergent life. Filmed in a single continuous take, the camera glides through this microcosm in a meticulously choreographed sequence, spiraling in a 360-degree orbit that mirrors the cyclical motion of life and cosmic systems. This rotation dissolves the boundaries between catastrophe and renewal, embracing how mediated images can both obscure and reveal the layered narratives of crisis. Raw, unfiltered visuals merge with theatrical artifice: landscapes oscillate between decay and rebirth.

The work aligns with the overwhelming flux of crisis narratives by “dressing” disaster in symbolic ambiguity. As the camera navigates burning forests, frozen wastelands, and deserted terrains, it oscillates between revelation and concealment, transmuting debris into metaphor. The maquette mirrors systemic collapse—its choreographed chaos echoing the rhythmic pulse of global crises—while simultaneously cradling latent possibility. Within this controlled entropy, Under the Falling Sky unearths seeds of potential, suggesting that beneath the familiar images of disaster lie narratives waiting to be reclaimed and reimagined.
