POPOTLA SOUND MACHINE
7 months ago
A Video travelogue of the ancient Popotla barrio in México City. An emotionally charged place, it hosts the burned remains of "the sad night tree": a giant ahuehuete said to mark the place where Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés collapsed weeping after suffering a humilliating defeat at the hands of Tenochtitlán´s inhabitants. This video attempts to be a picture of my mental state while walking across the streets of Popotla, juxtaposing images from the past and present to the music of Guillermo Guevara a.k.a Kampion.

Your editing style is so fantastic.

Big respect
