In “Peladas Noturnas” (Nocturnal Kick-Abouts), we see fenced sports courts, more like satellite stations lit out of context, and still visited by horses and stray pigs. The dozens of children and teenagers that each night descend from these places from all corners seem to justify those strange boxes shining in the landscape. Finally, a soccer ball flying through the sky replaces the stray bullet in a new daily ritual.

In order to optimize the visualization of Dias & Riedweg's recent investigations into the synchrony and multiplicity of all things, these video installations, called “Small Stories of Modesty and Doubt”, feature a device with three superimposed channels showing images filmed at the same time. time and in the same place, but from different angles and speeds. , thus materializing the existence of a more complex reality. Playing over the muffled sounds recorded during filming is a piano composition by Walter Riedweg.
