Fade

We look forward to the presentation of Karlos Gil’s Fade (2025) at FD–C Museum of Contemporary Art, Landscape and Environment. Opening 15 April, Gil’s video can be seen at Espacio Video until 24 May 2026.

 

In Fade, a drone flies over abandoned fields and factories in the province of Lleida, capturing a nocturnal science fiction journey through derelict flour mills and decaying structures. Its path anticipates the obsolescence of a productive system in which the land bears witness to its own transformation.

 

Images of storage sheds, empty spaces, and abandoned agricultural tools evoke a post-apocalyptic scenario reminiscent of a clandestine military operation, interwoven with footage of illegal car races recorded in areas near these fields. The places visited seem to possess a life and force of their own, and a sense of anticipation—of what might have happened or might still occur—continuously builds through the tension between the stillness of the abandoned spaces and the speed of the nocturnal shots.
