The Eye of the Tourist: XIII Easy Pieces
Between 2014 and 2017, Luis Ospina and Lina González made a series of travels through some Asian countries; perhaps the antipodes of their symbolic world. These travels started a series of records, articulated in a kind of travel log in the style of a modern Marco Polo. This film moves between the gaze of the filmmaker and that of the tourist, at the same time it revitalizes the question for the other in a globalized age, with omnipresent screens. In this posthumous film, Ospina casts his regard on small details, be it common habits or exceptional events.
