“Shot in the Guatemalan Highlands, Meta Mayan II is a keenly observed, poetic video essay on the indigenous culture of the Maya, and is one of the first video pieces to use slow motion as a formal element. Director Edin Vélez combines imagery of the Mayan people with voice-over recordings taken from international news outlets describing the country’s political turmoil, to create a metaphor for a culture in transition. Vélez’s video is complemented with artworks that depict South America’s diverse landscapes, cultures, and textures.”
