Revisión Remix Re-Existencia is a Shortfilm and Multimedia Installation shown at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein in 2023. The Shortfilm revisión remix re-exitencia was directed and inicated by Christian Diaz Orejarena in colaboration with Carolina Pinzón Rivera. Workshops and Film-Activities in the context of the research-project were realised under the name Chalarka Remix in collaboration with rampe:action, Escuela de Cine Popular / Ojo al Sancocho Festival, Ciudad Bolívar, Fundación Piedritas en la Ventana, Zenú Museum of Contemporary Art, “Orlando Fals Borda” Regional Documentation Center. Christian Diaz Orejarena´s Installation Revision Remix Re-Existencia explores contemporary decolonial practices, drawing on the struggles of farmers along Colombia’s Atlantic coast in the 1970s. The material compiled here is based on research, interviews, and audiovisual practices that the artist carried out in collaboration with collectives in Bogotá and Montería, as well as in Berlin’s Hellersdorf district. The installation explores, in particular, the Latin American concept of “re-existencia,” which was used by workshop participants in Colombia as an alternative to the notion of resistance. In decolonial theory, it describes the intention to break through entrenched ways of perceiving the world, overcome colonial logics, and transform one’s own living environment. *Revision Remix Re-Existencia* playfully tests the applicability and potential of the term in a German context and explores what connects and what divides the struggles for self-determination here and there.
