The Contemporary Art Modern Project presents Bego M. Santiago: Loop Diaries, which immerses the viewer in Santiago’s video installation series, Loop Diarios. Drawing from Freud's text and the surrealist and dadaist poem-objects, the project deals with "the everyday and the sinister" through that of the individual's relationship with their personal objects; the everyday; repetitive actions; boredom and intimacY.
Loop Diarios is in turn a proposal of Expanded Cinema, where each Loop can function separately or be part of a more complex whole. This system gives flexibility to the project. On this occasion, The CAMP Gallery presents 9 of the Loops that make up the project, 8 in single-channel format and one of them in video-installation format. The exhibition is a scenographic presentation where video, space, and everyday objects are merged through multiple video installations.
This exhibition sees Santiago’s introspection, or rumination, on her past and present in the form of repetitive video loops that function as a childhood diary re-written by a present-day adult, forging an intimate and sincere reflection on the mundane phenomena that constructs the Self: family, society, and experience

In this cyclical narration, what is sought is that which transcends the being, the heavy, and which rests in the most banal actions of everyday life, the lightweight. The narrative moves, therefore, through the intersections between dichotomies such as presence and absence; truth and falsehood; original and copy. A territory where lightness is the negation of myth and weight is the acceptance of it, and where the essence of existence advances through time subject to the sweet law of repetition.
