THERE IS GOLD EVERYWHERE
16mm transferred to 2k
Rita Morais | 2023 | Portugal | 12’ | Digital
A sonic and visual exploration of the landscape surrounding the ruins of a gold mine excavated during the Roman Empire in El Bierzo in the Iberian Peninsula. “Ruina montium” (to ruin or destroy mountains in Latin) was an ancient Roman mining technique that consisted in flooding tunnels in order to blow up mountains – a hydraulic process that points towards “the beginning of an industrial gaze towards nature” (Rita Morais). There is gold everywhere is anchored by the retelling of the founding myth of Rome, with two local children performing Romulus and Remus. The haptic tactility of 16mm film is emphasised by frequent close-ups of the children’s hands as well as by Morais’s use superimposition, zoom and hand-held camera.
