“All the Missing Things (Todas las cosas que no están)” is the title of the movie filmed by Teresa Solar Abboud, which this time around is going to be screened like an installation in Matadero Madrid. The film tells the story of a woman that crosses the United States from East to West by following the steps of American engineer and photographer Harold Edgerton. Her voice accompanies viewers in an uncertain journey throughout the American territory, by telling stories based on Edgerton’s experiments and transparent and diaphanous images.
The movie takes as starting point the paradoxical relation between Edgerton’s pictures, which turn the invisible into visible, and the spaces where these images were taken, forbidden and dark spaces. So, it draws a thin line between what we can’t see and what we make out through the partial, abrupt and nearly nonexistent dazzling of the shimmering light. A line backed up by the installation that accompanies and complements the movie screening at Matadero Madrid’s Nave 16.
Teresa Solar Abboud lives and works in Madrid. She has individually exhibited her work in 2 de Mayo Art Center, Formato Cómodo Gallery and Párraga Center. Her work has been showcased is such spaces as General Public in Berlin, Het Wilde Weten in Holland and Fabra y Coats in Barcelona, as well as in festivals Rencontres Internationales and LOOP. She recently won the Generaciones award and CAM production scholarship.
