Teo Hernández. «Nuestra Señora de París» by Vanessa Agudo
March 2021
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.
