Mapping Blanca

Mapping Blanca is an experimental short film by Stephanie Kyek. In this work, she seeks to rewrite the history of the Earth through sensory mapping, challenging the traditionally male-dominated structures of cartography.Through the study of the soundscape and the tactile attributes of an environment, an audiovisual map is created to document the relation and the interconnection with human forms (movement, reaction and catalysts).

The poster and film credits were created using elements of real cartography from the town of Blanca, in Spain. These same fragments appear within the film itself, the colors are inspired by Blanca earthy tones.
