Dadaist Día de los Muertos: A Cultural Exploration in Tepoztlán

DADAIST DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS

This video is a unique Dadaist interpretation of Día de los Muertos, where I explore Tepoztlan’s hippie atmosphere and its syncretic religious practices. It contrasts Christian beliefs as they manifest in Mexico, with altars serving as poignant testaments to cultural divergence.

Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Anemic Cinema’, this film integrates symmetric, geometric forms created through advanced generative AI, marrying century-old Dadaist influences with modern digital artistry. Dive into this mesmerizing blend of tradition and innovation with an evocative soundtrack by Ale Hop.
