Morichales
0.00 83 minutes In Venezuelan Guayana, large gold reserves lie beneath “moriche” palms, attracting multitudes of miners from across the region. A narrator travels from far-flung mines in the jungle to the banks of the Orinoco River, trying to understand the uncertain fortune of the miner. His reflections combine illustrations and photochemical paintings to draw a map of the extraction and commercialization of gold, object and symbol through which he questions where value resides. Morichales is a journey through an occult jungle immersed in the quest for redemption.
