Santiago Caicedo (CO)
Santiago Caicedo is a Colombian artist and filmmaker. He directed the animated feature film ""Virus Tropical"" selected at festivals such as Berlinale and Annecy, his projects have received numerous distinctions around the world including audience awards at SXSW and BAFICI, the Quirino award for best Iberoamerican Animation and the Golden Lumiere award granted by the Advanced Imaging Society for best stereoscopic feature Film. Santiago lives and works in Bogota as director of Timbo Estudio, where he produces films, series, short films and live shows. He teaches at the University of Los Andes.
By enhancing graphics and fantasy in his unique style, Caicedo vanishes all references to common times or places and takes us away on trips to strange worlds. This attempts to break off traditional narrative structures, where many of his pieces are made of visual stories without dialogue in single sequences, has led to Caicedo's collaborations with Nintendo and books like 3-DIY, Stereo 3D Filmmaking and The Big Books of pussy and butt from Taschen where his alternative methods of producing stereoscopic images are highlighted.

Moving still
2008 / Stereoscopic Short Film
ARTWORK DESCRIPTION
To be a routine traveler. No surprises at the starting point, no surprises at the point of arrival. To feel the monotony of a recurring journey made too many times. Looking through the window of a train, imagining all that happens outside, following the rhythm, and then choosing not to.
Asking ourselves whether we want to, or if we can, still change roads.
Moving Still is a stereoscopic short film that uses an experimental technique from a single camera shot mixed with CG elements that build and destroy the city.
The film infuses routine travel with fantasy, challenging the monotony of our metaphorical journeys.
