Pluto is no longer considered a planet. The posters in the classrooms and museum shops were replaced, new objects similar to Pluto will continue to appear. As time goes by, we'll get used to this idea just as we forget an old lover and long for new horizons.

夜晚還年輕，月圓之夜的到來，開啟了探索世界的一道門。無止盡的狂歡派對在各處舉行著，人們跳起舞來，試著縮短與他人的身體距離，空虛寂寞世界裡的一場冒險

Produced during his studies at Le Fresnoy, an important French film school and artistic research lab, “A Guest + A Host = A Ghost” is based on an aphorism created by Marcel Duchamp in 1953 that Jorge Jácome develops with the use of human hands and of his incalculable capacity for expression and sensory perception. Throughout a series of frames, with a camera that moves hesitantly (like a ghost?), Jácome applies distortions as well as sound and visual manipulations that appeal to subjectivity and resignification through the senses. Living up to the Duchampian proposition, Jácome invites us (“guest”) to find in his film (“host”) the necessary elements to experience something in the spectrum of the immaterial.

In a natural crisis scenario, the entire population of Azores is forced to evict due to an uncontrolled plague of hydrangeas, a common flower in these islands. Two young soldiers, bound to the beauty of the landscape, guide us to the stories of sadness of those forced to leave and the inherent desire to resist by inhabiting the islands. The filmic wandering becomes a nostalgic and political reflection on territorial belonging and identity, and the roles we assume in the places we came from.

A melancholic film - the archaeological investigation of the state of mind of our present.
