Hito Steyerl’s How Not to Be Seen video offers a biting and ironic critique of digital technology and invisibility. Patricio Guzmán's Nostalgia for the Light provides a poetic and haunting essay exploration of memory, history and eternity, set Chile’s remote Atacama Desert. In this otherworldly place, Guzman’s film presents the place of convergence between the earthly quest for bones alongside of a celestial one which seeks for life in the far beyond. The place where archaeologists dig for ancient civilizations along side of the women who search for evidence of their disappeared loved ones, the very same sand on which astronomers scan the skies for new galaxies. These award-winning films provide different aesthetic lenses through which to view whatever might be hiding in plain sight.
