Teo Hernández. «Nuestra Señora de París» by Vanessa Agudo

Vanessa Agudo, art historian, critic and film programmer, presents Nuestra Señora de París, one of Teo Hernández’s most important films. Notre-Dame cathedral provides the backdrop for an ecstatic vision: the convulsions of the camera and the frenetic editing, with loops of liturgical and noise music, break down the monument, transforming it into flashes of colour, lines and fleeting shapes.
