Eat Sand / Sand is a 16 mm experimental film, it is the result of purposefully introducing error during processing. A blighted collection of captures. An approach to seeing aimed at mastering partial control of the outcome imagery while forcing the camera to malfunction.

Lorena Articardi (b. 1992, Italian-Uruguayan), is a visual artist and scholar working with photography and motion images as her primary mediums. She describes her material-discursive practice as a study on light, approaching light as both form and content. Purposely flawed, brutally honest; her subversive practice takes the form of an intimate photographic reportage that samples in fragments, and thinks of captures as a form of inscribed light-sensitive memory. Light is inherently restless and, as a light impression, thus is the photographic image.
