THE CIRCLE OF PROJECTION

Ester Segarra reveals three spellbinding movies that inspired her work.

THE SEVENTH SEAL

DIR: INGMAR BERGMAN (1957) “Life, death, playing chess against the Grim Reaper… what’s not to like? Deep into the meaning of life, beautiful cinematography, it has been a visual and conceptual reference many times.”

THE HOLY MOUNTAIN

DIR: ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY (1973) “I’m a big fan of Jodorowsky’s work on psycho-magic as well as his movies. His use of colour is incredible. A visual feast of the alchemical process of self-transformation.”

PAN’S LABYRINTH

DIR: GUILLERMO DEL TORO (2006) “Set during the Spanish Civil war and my grandfather having fought in it, this one hits home. It’s a stunning depiction of the intricate relationship between reality and illusion.”
