Remake: Another Script Proposal

Nicolas de Ribou met Abel Jaramillo in July 2017 at Santander where the latter presented as part of Artsantander his project El fin de una expedición (The end of an expedition). His research work on the strategies that alter and subvert the usual logic of understanding certain contexts ; his interest in the cracks of History from portraits that emerge from the margins ; and his analysis of the construction of discourse and political frictions that project themselves into the everyday, immediately caught the attention of Nicolas de Ribou. When Hypercorps give him the carte blanche, he immediately thought that the context fit to invite Abel Jaramillo. This crossing of paths of three weeks, this time of encounter was exactly what he wanted to get to know him and start a first collaboration.

Abel Jaramillo’s project takes as a starting point a script for a film never made, written between 1980 and 1987 by the French psychoanalyst and philosopher Félix Guattari: A love of UIQ. This script, for a science fiction film, narrates the contact between the human race and a subatomic entity and shows the author’s interest in rethinking the cinematographic apparatus and the political implications of cinema. Inspired by the publication and research of artists and filmmakers Silvia Maglioni and Graeme Thomson on the unrealized science fiction script by Felix Guattari, Un Amour d’UIQ and its multiform project on this missing film, the project addresses different issues around to the idea of success and failure, clandestinity, work and survival, overflowing some of these ideas towards other references.
