El vacío
Directed by Marcello Mercado
Emptiness is a visually striking experimental documentary that explores the complex intersections between body, power, and faith. Through a sequence of dense, symbolic compositions, the film unfolds as a thunderous meditation on the abuses of capital and the collapse of language. Mercado constructs a stark visual and sonic architecture where medicine and religion appear as intertwined systems of biopower—structures that discipline, sanctify, and ultimately exhaust the body. Minimal yet overwhelming, Emptiness confronts the spectator with the material presence of the “body-thing,” situating the human form at the center of a critical reflection on control, belief, and emptiness itself.
