AMBASSASDOR JOURNAL: DANIEL MONROY CUEVAS: WEEK 8-9

The video shooting for the project took place from June 20-23. The New Frontier Drive-in in Center, Colorado, was the location. Now abandoned, this theater screened movies for nearly fifty years. This was the perfect site to unfold the ideas I've been developing for this project. The drive-in theater in the middle of the San Luis Valley holds a strong relationship with the landscape and the distance you could get there. The surface of the screen becomes an absurd emptiness and at the same time evokes the projection of moving images. My idea of the location is not that of nostalgia, but more about present day ruins that could also stand for active frontiers.
