Research, investigative art project, public intervention, short film
Together with Mathias Weinfurter
In 2019 Anna Boldt and Mathias Weinfurter realized the experimental research and artistic project Miradas Borrosas (Blurry Gazes) in the Colombian village of Ambalema. The starting point was the footage that the Google company had taken on site six years earlier for its online service Google Street View (GSV). So far, the residents had no knowledge of their existence and public accessibility. The village has no permanently installed internet access. After an extensive engagement with the inhabitants about the confrontation with the photographs, their experiences and impressions, a participatory intervention and a performance was realized on site. The interventions resulted in a film that was shown as part of a spatial installation.
