Laila Saber Rodriguez is an artist, and researcher based in Barcelona, Spain. The focus of her artistic and research practice for the last 9 years continues to be rooted in hybrid formats of creativity and storytelling; focusing on indeterminant narratives. Through film installation, filmmaking, writing and her work with Cruda Collective - she animates landscapes while mythical and speculative elements unfold to tell a story. After 8 years of living in The Netherlands where she completed her Bachelors in Art, Research &#38;amp; Experiment, with a minor in Theory &#38;amp; Research, her endeavours expanded to found Les Shapeshifters ltd.  

					
				
			
		
	

	 A research laboratory residency in the making dedicated to fundamentally re-wilding and re-rooting models of collaboration and knowledge-production by inspiring a shapeshifting approach to cross-industry collaborations - the focus is on generating meaning at the cross roads. Specifically within music, art, science, humanities and even business.

Coming soon is The Shapeshifting Act, a podcast series made with artist, Constance Mariena that presents a mosaic of conversations surrounding thinking around shapeshifting within multiple disciplines ranging from philosophy, linguistics, physics, biology and art.

/crù·da/Cruda Collective is formed
by interdisciplinary artists &#38;amp; experimental filmmakers, Laila saber Rodriguez (CAI-CDMX)
and Andrea Galano Toro (CL, ES), based between Barcelona &#38;amp; The Netherlands. The duo aims to re-enchant the ways we approach and tell stories through rewilding practices. Rewilding, within Cruda’s practice, means to embrace precarious cycles such as collapse, death, hybridity, rebirth into the way we produce and speculate with knowledge(s). Re-wilding means to activate the wilderness, playfulness and the glitches within storytelling &#38;amp; mythology. Through this, they dance with and activate other worlds and voices, such as landscapes, elements and monsters. Cruda aims to re-configure the linear conditions, and inhabit a hybrid ecosystem of symbiosis and emergence. Cruda operates through workshops, audiovisual performances with film, and spell-casting practices.

Limina is a short sci-fi film of 18 mins,
presented as a 3-screen film and sound, &#38;amp; music installation. Limina is a
plural form of the word Limen, which in Latin means thresholds,
crossings and gateways. The film explores the speculative powers of liminal
states, particularly those of death and dreams in relation to how stories,
history and records are created. The film brings into question the fundamental
‘logic’ of linear storytelling and causality, by presenting a 3-channel
narrative that fuses 3 different spaces the character experiences (reality plane,
dream plane and the afterlife plane). I engage with symbolic references from
Ancient Egypt and Mesoamerican culture to unfold a multi-layered and nomadic story about
genesis.








	


















This sci-fi film follows the story of Limina,
a wanderer who is in her journey of consciousness while simultaneously
undergoing a journey of death in the afterlife, guided by her dead self.

Each character is inspired by animals, whom have very specific roles within the
mythologies of death, re-birth and the afterlife. Limina, the Serpent,
inspired from Coatlicue, a Mesoamerican diety. Death is the raven, a
psychopomp, one who escorts souls into the afterlife. The film in of
itself, I would say is a liminal space, which I use as testament to the
elasticity of what genesis means and history-telling.
Premiered in Focus Film Theatre in Arnhem, Netherlands.

	Project by: Laila Saber Rodriguez, Maria Touloupa, Raffaella PicardiLocation: Reykjavík, Iceland.&#38;nbsp;
	





























(Emerging from Dando Luz - giving birth in Spanish)


The mother volcano vomits lava, creating landscapes that do not yet exist. The volcano is instinct, too. We proposes that the volcano is a mother that births lava, from which new narratives may emerge from its ashes. The volcano in this case is also a healer that restores damage.


In this article, the artists wish to explore the texture and language of volcanoes, like molten rock, eroded lines, lava, fire, and ashes; while also exploring the feminine and mother archetypes through poems, written excerpts, burned letters, and ashes.












	


















The story follows a raw, intimate and vulnerable journey of a collective of women who undergo a ritual of purification guided by a being who merges with the volcano. The ritual is an invitation healing through burning. The artists present the documentation of this journey through analog photography, poems both from the women and volcano, maps from the motherland.
The final editorial of this work will be published in May 2024.&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;

This project is a re-evaluation of time and storytelling to experience hybridity and no-linearity in an audio-visual and creative context.&#38;nbsp;

This audio-visual project explores the world of fragments, hybridity and non-linear stories. Using a collection of scenes placed in a different order accompanied by a composed sequence of sounds and music, a film births. A film you only see once and a film that no-one would experience the same. This film is Hybrid Time: An Underground Experience.

	



















The underground represents a fertile landscape from which new meaning and new narratives may arise from. The underground is simultaneously a birthing place and a grave. It is where death and re-birth take place; it is where time abides by no linear rules; it is where hybrids embody the closest to what truth is.&#38;nbsp;
“To understand light you need first to have been buried in the deep-down dark.” (Robert MacFarlane, Underlands)

	Mercury Surface is a constructed monolith installation with a built-in film, playing in loop accompanied by a QR sound experience. The monolith represents a gate or portal, placed by the vending machines in Kardinge Ice Rink in Groningen as part of Once Upon A Time exhibition. The placement of the monolith intends to interrupt the current space. Indeed, the monolith together with the film and sound, attempt to rupture the current physical time and space, by alluring you towards a gateway into another world, asking you to listen. The film speculates the story of an ancient messenger by awakening their messages carried through time. This ancient messenger ice skated to transport messages as quickly as possible, as these communicated an array of warnings, and oracles about our society’s future 















encounters.

	


















The film installation begs the audience to
question their human-centric position in the world and tune into alternative
bodies within the multiverse and embody a hybrid way of existing. Hence, the
name of the film, Mercury Surface: it is a reference to the messenger God in
Roman mythology, as well as NASA’s robotic Messenger used to map 40% of Mercury’s
surface, another planet outside our understandings of Earth. Mercury Surface
whispers to you, to take a moment to listen to what other worlds (can
potentially) reveal, especially through speculations such as oracles or
warnings.

As part of the research bureau on horror,
Laila formulated the following research question: How can the complex
geological structure of caves reveal and awakennon-linear and
hybrid storytelling logic(s)?


There is a whole subpage on Reddit that goes
into how caves, for many people, trigger horrific fears like darkness,
isolation, depth, fear of getting lost, the unknown, a place where
your mind plays tricks on you. However, this project attempts to change the
perception of caves and approach these spaces as a place of birthing, and speculation. The purpose of
this approach is to render acts of narrating history more fluid and less
sedentary as normally presented. History isn’t set in stone, and much like the walls of the caves, it is
always 
changing.

 
	


















These histories are meant to be touched and experienced, and
in this way, embodying a hybrid logic of time, space, and story. The short
film, The Creature that Crawls in The Underground Skies, travels through webs
of realities etched into the limestone walls, while the audience is listening
to an official tour story narrated by Jo, an official Maastricht Caves tour
guide. Alongside Jo’s voice is that of the fictional monster, the Cavus
Reptilia,Latin for cave reptile. This creature speaks in notes,
and chords about dreams, death, and rebirth to reveal the various potentials of
coming into being. The act of listening to a cave’s history, fused with monologues
of death and rebirth can awaken such a non-linear and hybrid form of
experiencing.

“Querido Mapa,” is a short fictional film
that explores the speculative cartography. I decided to uncover this
relation through the narrative of a taxi driver who maps the city in
which he drives through, not only mapping buildings and roads, but also mapping
stories of love, death, poetry and space. I believe these testimonies form a large
part of the bigger scheme of stories. In this case, stories and memories form
part of the cartographic landscape that the film aims to present. The question was how would cartographic practices
be shaped if memories, feelings, experiences and dreams were included as
part of its formation? This film revealed the beginning of my collage-based language, my
twisted tongue slurring stories rather than telling them linearly.

 







	


















The film
intercuts through parts, starting with Onda, the cartographer who begins dialogue with the
taxi driver, who almost immediately becomes the protagonist of the film.
Towards the end, he meets the aerial sailor, the sky driver: the pilot, whom he has
to drive to the airport. The taxi driver and pilot begin to share a
conversation about their professions. This moves the idea of cartography as an intimate
land-relation, to a bigger scale and scope including the skies, clouds and
cosmos. Their conversation takes the audience through stories via a car window, gently mapping an
imagined landscape that feels real, while also mapping the violent geopolitics
that take place on land and sky.

Studium Generale ArtEZ commissioned Laila to explore the notion of “future justice” through her practice. In response, she made a short video essay that takes the viewer along a walk in her childhood compound in Cairo, Egypt. To grapple with the theme of future justice, it slowly revealed the importance of movement. 
 







	


















Movement not only being a physical change or action, but a fundamental aspect of dissecting futurity. To think with movement and fluidity constructs a far more compelling speculation about the future that includes care. The video essay contemplates notions of justice through thoughts on time, space, memory, and touch.
