Full of ancient rituals, this ancestral tradition awakens people’s awareness of their
natural environment.
MAIZ / CORN is about how physical contact with this seed, with Mother Earth, and fire,
provokes an experience of transformation during this ritual, for its participants. This
moment, that we are witnessing, is shot in a real time, 12-minute sequence.
Bio
Perumanes developed independent and relevant works, broadcasted internationally
during the 90s with titles such as ‘Mortaja’, ‘Mujer Desnuda’ and ‘La Muerte de Nuevo’.
However, he decided to move away from active audiovisual work to devote himself to
teaching and to a more personal inner work with his family, in the natural corner of
Benharás, Cádiz.
At present, he is resuming his artistic work using the material recorded and written
during these years.

Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved.
Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
