Tropical Vulture
2009 - Film & Video (Film & Video)
Miguel Calderon
Tropical Vulture is a cross-generational project which highlights the artistic influences between George Kuchar, a Bay Area legend of independent filmmaking, and Mexican artist Miguel Calderón. Conversations with a Tropical Vulture is an experimental narrative video, co-directed by both artists, and blends Hollywood glamour and drama with an all-too-real life approach, which creates and inspires a counterpoint of unattainable desire against unbearable actuality. The video, shot on location in Acapulco, utilizes a “lo-fi” aesthetic and playful use of non-professional actors.
Miguel Calderón is a Mexican artist and writer. He has worked in various media – paint, photography, video and installation- often engaged with low-brow aesthetics and concerns.
