In the video, El cuervo, la fosa, y la yegua, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz brings together various forms of non-linear thinking and simultaneous temporalities, while challenging traditional ways of reading. There is a genre of Sanskrit poetry that simultaneously tells two stories in the same text. An act of simultaneous narration that hides one text inside another, juxtaposing images and sounds from seemingly disconnected universes. A madeleine is both a pastry and an idea. Language is historical and abstract. In the historical now there is a plastic cup and a robot arm in the bottom of the ocean. In a junkyard overgrown by forest, a mare visits and tries to mate with a corvette every day. The giant crow that does not exist anymore in Puerto Rico and the giant crow that still exists in Haiti. A Kreyol saying: The snake can only be measured once it is dead. Things you can’t see but know are real: the bottom of the Puerto Rico trench, the Marassa or loa twin, our attachments to certain past orders.
