About the event
Through interviews, archival materials, and his artwork, the film traces his journey in Los Angeles and explores themes of migration, identity, memory, and creation, including his remarkable recovery from Guillain-Barré Syndrome. His artistic vision transforms elements of his surroundings into symbols layered with multiple meanings. Among them is Los Angeles City Hall, a recurring motif in his work that De Batuc portrays as a tall, narrow structure, inviting political, social, and even irreverent interpretations.
