El Fin del Mundo 
Theme and Format of the Main Film El Fin del Mundo, adopts a futuristic setting of the apocalypse and its aftermath to pose questions about the social function and role of contemporary art. The film is based on our postexhibit conversations expressing doubts and regrets about contemporary art. It is a dual-screened film that depicts artists and their attitudes just before the apocalypse as well as the rebirth of art through revamped aesthetics in the postapocalyptic world. By presenting the end and the beginning, we hoped to more closely examine the social function and role of contemporary art.
