La mirada de Ouka Leele

2010

Shot over five years. A unique document of the creative work of the most representative artist of her generation. She is a painter (she creates a 240 m mural in the film), and a photographer of icons, which reflect everything human that the spirit contains. Life and thought of an essential artist, creator over three decades of an internationally recognized work and deserving of the National Photography Award. “The Look of Ouka Lele” is the story of how the creativity of a genius develops, his passion and his struggle in thought, painting and photography. Art and existence, united by the effort, talent and beauty of a creator in eternal struggle.

Rituals of celebration and violence like hurricane, shift between dancing, cyanotypes, blue fire and lost family archive. We have come to see the damage that was done and the treasures that prevail.
