Distant Lights, 2022
Throughout the seven episodes of the video work Distant Lights, we are taken through places that the artist has selected as protagonists: the Sines Port Authority, the EDP Power Plant, Terminal XXI, the Galp Energia and Repsol refineries, the Quarry, the lands of the future Data Center and EllaLink, in juxtaposition with natural landscapes. Cera started from a very simple concept, to place nature and industry in contrast through video. There are two parallel flows that, at certain points, become one, in a visual play of rhythms and sounds that create and deconstruct space and time. The voice-over introduces references to large-scale natural and political events, to climate change, and to a time scale that is more geological.
