Up Around The Bend: a visual song from Christian Lagata on Vimeo.



Up Around the Bend: a visual song is a trip around a fence that divide two realities. It is a ride around a military US Aeronaval Base located in a little village in the south of Spain (Rota, Cadiz). A simple road trip builds a piece that rarely strives the formal beauty, calling to mind to Jim Jarmusch and other classic american authors.
