Synopsis

A tour of the place will prove that sometimes one painting is not enough. Aditional information: The starting point is experimentation. For this film Damián Alquichire created around 3000 paintings and 1500 drawings. There are a lot of techniques used: oils, vinyls, charcoal and pencils in different surfaces, from little papers (25x35cms) to big canvases (150x120cms).

THE CHIMERICAL MUSEUM OF SHIFTING
SHAPES WORLD PREMIERE

Picture

​When I had 22 years (2016) I traveled to Prizren, Kosovo, to the worldwide premiere of my film “The Chimerical Museum of Shifting Shapes”. This film had its world premiere in 2017 at DOKUFEST, the biggest festival in the Balkans, located in Prizren Kosovo. There, this work won the Best International Short Film Award by the juries Afolabi (Afo) Kuti, Jasmin Basic and Trimor Dhomi. “The Chimerical Museum of Shifting Shapes” is a video work based on approximately 3000 paintings and 1500 drawings made by Alquichire. From the short film the jury said: “THE CHIMERICAL MUSEUM OF SHIFTING SHAPES is a world premiere at DokuFest and the jury were entered by the oneness of the imagery with music composed Damiàn Alquichire crafted every aspect of the film single handedly partnering only on the music. His talent is original and unique with a voice that cuts through cinema.“
