Overview
Juvenile Devils is an assemblage of film fragments from different periods that Miguel Calderón had previously discarded. The video unveils a contin- uous editing process that gives cohesion to a series of apparently uncon- nected and fragmented images. In the artist's words, "It's an ode to the disillusionment of the 90s, to the disorientation caused by excessive tele- vision consumption that gave us the false illusion of a promising future that would never come". The piece also documents the way in which Miguel Calderón works, as he instinctively captures everyday situations and behaviors whose strange- ness often transcend socially accepted canons.
