16mm film projection, 3’, loop, colour. Acrylic cube filled with water on a swivel. Two audio channels, stereo. “Non terrae plus ultra, nothing further beyond” for those who dare cross the pillars of Hercules which used to demarcate the known world. This old Greek legend sank into oblivion and became the motto of a developing Spanish state. It was on the Canary Islands, “the fortunate ones” – which at that time were yet to be conquered by the Spanish – that Christopher Columbus' sailors set foot before reaching America. This territory was transformed into a laboratory, where several strategies and social models were developed and exported to the “new world” causing the demise of the native peoples. Nowadays, their mummies, displayed in history and anthropology museums and removed from the place some of them chose to remain, are witnesses from those times, reminding us that all cultural records are nothing but reminders of barbarity. Their history, as well as the women's, was repeatedly denied by the official narrative. Their traces left a hidden trail that, no matter how smudged and vague, has come down to us in the shape of a revelation, allowing us to question and overturn the beliefs in which the State is based. By analogy with the idea of the official narrative as an ideological construct which oversimplifies and mangles everything that is out of its scope, a film projector, conceived to efface all the “beaming aberrations” generated by light, discloses ghostly reflections and visions from the images of our film, “Plus Ultra”. As we immerse, a suspended, subterranean state of animation is conjured up, a sort of journey under the influence of water, light and sound.
