Suspension In Sebastián Díaz Morales’s Suspension a young man is hanging in the air, falling, or perhaps drifting through time and space. There is no special or definite way to understand it. And it is in this construction where Morales envisions the world as an endless void, or timeless gravity, that we fall deeper and deeper into our own humanity.
Raised in an isolated location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Patagonian Desert, Sebastián Díaz Morales believes his upbringing led him to a very particular way of perceiving the world around him. Using different filmic techniques, from narrative film-like works to found-footage, he explores the relationship between large-scale socio-political power dynamics and individual objectives. His films are often surreal, include no dialogue, and create a tension between reality, fiction, and representation in a visually abstract way.
