520 "Operating like an encyclopedist of the everyday, Cuevas
assembled Dormimundo (Sleepworld) (1998-99, 29:14 mins),
nine short films reflecting the rituals of delusion that
occupy our time. This is a grand catalog of discomfort she
locates in the artifice needed to beautify and thus
assuage daily life. Most striking is the episode El Diablo
en la Piel (Devil in the Flesh) in which the artist
undermines dramatic pathos by plying her eyes with chiles
to create a profusion of false tears. In Colchones
Individuales (Single Beds) (2002, 18 mins), Cuevas plucks
intimate moments from the accelerating continuum of our
lives. As if suspended in time, they beckon observation,
but reward us with the strange anxieties of a life free
from propulsion. Perhaps Cuevas's most chilling work,
Cinepolis, la Capital del Cine (2003, 22 mins) forecasts
an image-driven invasion of everyday life, picture-perfect
and unnoticed. This alien intrusion comes in the form of a
fully branded consumerscape that cheerily foists fast
foods along with the fantasy. Irreverent and biting,
Ximena Cuevas fights back with the only weapons available-
-images of the enemy, and the enemy's images"--Steve Seid,
Pacific Film Archive program note.
