Last October I was working on a documentary in Patagonia. We came back with a lot of incredible things. I decided to edit the best of it. It was important for me to do this project, to thank and highlight them in a way.
With this project, I wanted to make a portrait of the gauchos, based on how they consider themself. Gauchos are seen like modern living cow boys, but it's more subtle than this, as Pajarito explained to us.
The 3:2 ratio was important to me. I wanted to get the idea of a "square" picture, like a still photography.
I tried to show the feeling of freedom I had with them. Time and spaces are totally different over there.
At some moments, I was having a break during shooting and realizing how lucky I was. I felt like I was happy to witness these moments.
This work has been made possible thanks to Pronto Prod with whom I was shooting a documentary on remote locations in the world. I would like to especially thank the director Philippe Mac Gaw who gave me the opportunity to make this edit and to turn it into a personal project.
Again for the music, I worked with my buddy AIR GOAT who describes his compositions in his own terms:"
I wanted to this song to sound soft and delicate to resonate with the poetry of these men's lives, but also strong and brutal to embody the rawness of the nature around them.
After listening to music from the Andes it felt natural to use the guitar as a primary instrument, and I also choose to do as many things as I could with the guitar only : the percussions at 1:04 are actually made by hitting the soundboard of the guitar. I added elements from different string instruments such as ukulele, portuguese guitar and cellos to complete the song.
In the end I am very proud of this composition and I think it really blends well with the beauty of nature and the wild lifestyle of the Gauchos".
This project can exist thanks to Pronto Prod, a production company specialized in documentaries.
