“It’s complicated to call any place home. Mexico is a place that’s not my home as it is for other people who have lived here for generations. Every place where I live, it’s hard to connect to as home, like the US and the Philippines, but I also feel like there’s so much weight to the word ‘home’, and it doesn’t need to be such a priority.”
Miko Revereza is a filmmaker born in Manila, The Philippines, and currently living in Oaxaca, Mexico. His upbringing as an undocumented immigrant and current exile from the United States informs his relationship towards moving images. FOLDS is a silent film poem composed of a series of superimpositions/double exposures. Like a folded map, distances are collapsed and face each other. Through the act of superimposing years of footage of portraits of people and places, the separation between borders here become dissolved.
