For more than a century, home movies have been collecting fragments of everyday life and have become an image bank of undeniable anthropological, sociological and historical value.

Home movies have shaped a repository of audiovisual memory with their own visual characteristics capable of creating a new cinematic language in which technical errors and imperfections become distinctive elements. In contemporary home video, these characteristics are maintained in digital format recorded by our mobile phones, shared on social networks and stored in the cloud. More than just a repository of memory, it has now become another form of communication marked by the dynamics of the internet.

This exhibition brings together previously unseen and at times counter-hegemonic narratives and films about past and present eras and customs. The tour will delve into the relationships between image, reality and memory and examine our relationship with the camera.
