Silvia Ulloa Márquez received a grant to develop the documentary De blauwe draad. When the self-knitted sweater of 70-year-old artist Ricardo Liong A-Kong begins to deteriorate, he completely unravels it, separates the wool back into yarn, and starts knitting it all over again—using exactly the same wool. He made his first sweater when he was 25. This documentary is a poetic impression of the encounter between the director and the artist. As a portrait, the film is the result of a dialogue between the two. It consists of three attempts to find ways of relating to a different way of being in the world. What does it mean to enter someone else’s world, a universe different from one’s own, and to engage in dialogue with that other way of seeing?After completing her law degree at the Complutense University of Madrid, Silvia moved to Amsterdam to explore herself as a visual artist. While documenting her own performative work, she discovered moving image as a medium. Since then, she has been filming for other artists. De blauwe draad is her first non-commissioned film project as a director.
