Isabel Salvado works mainly on video and illustration. For the theme Chemicals she used distinct kinds of film of archival footage from the early-mid twentieth century so to distill various critical readings (most quite ordinary and stale) while reflecting incidentally the evolution of film. The insistence on music originated in musical laboratories account for the most technological of the recursive analogies introduced by the soundtrack.

There is a mix on the video's audio track, to listen to the video mix click here.

When approaching the chemicals a sense of prudence was instilled on the author by corrosive recent learnings and so she decided to bring a video to unmute not so much a visually pleasing experience but a video that raises questions, why the absence of the periodic table or the atomic bomb, other more diffusive questions until you get to present-day geoengeneering, maybe these images will bring you comfort just because they're old, or just disregard this for the video is wasteful by itself.

André Santos brings his own sonic explorations to Chemicals with a great range of sounds, mixed as if put together in a laboratory. André works at a record store in Lisbon called Flur. He is part of Filho Único, a promoter and booking agency based in Lisbon. He is also a FIlm and Television writer for Time Out Lisbon.
