Atlas Oculto

Anne-Laure Boyer

English

In Spain, numerous villages were drowned after the war under hydraulic dams. The phenomenon was massive, more than any other country in Europe. The movie explores the mindset of the remaining community, erased from the map and from collective memory. I reveal the “hidden” atlas as I traverse the man-modified landscapes. I reassemble the burst memory of the village people, within a handmade symbolic clay village.
