From Lima to Santiago

Overview

From Lima to Santiago investigates the messages encoded in the Earth’s fracture lines after natural disasters, comparing them to the Inca Quipu system, an early form of information recording. Using images of her own body tissues and skin, captured through microscope and MRI scans, Sara Sepulcri creates a dialogue between the fractures of the Earth and those of the human body, observing how both preserve and transmit information through their structures. Along the migratory route between Lima and Santiago, the film identifies glaciers and volcanoes affected by a five-degree rise in temperature, exploring fracture lines as messages that reveal connections between human and planetary histories.
