At the opera
Argentina, 2010 / 1’

Lapsus
Argentina, 2007 / 3’24

One of the rare films of the Argentinian author, made not in stop motion but drawn on the computer, playing exclusively on the screen divided into two parts, one white and one black, in a game of progressive subtraction of the elements that make up the character with a barrage of hilarious gags.
