In Person Nicolás Pereda
(Todo en fin, el silencio lo ocupaba). “What does silence mean in film?” asks
Pereda of this experimental video piece, both his most formally atypical work and yet a perfectly logical extension of the concepts explored in his “narrative” features. All Things follows a staging of Sor Juana Inès de la Cruz’s poem “First I Dream” by the actress/artist/political activist Jesusa Rodríguez; Pereda notes, “[de la Cruz] writes about silence in terms of the intellect, as it being a necessity for knowledge.” At the heart of the film is Pereda’s desire to understand how silence, space, and stasis unite to form meaning and truth.
