NEW TROMBONE
Saletile · Keroxen
Created for the Keroxen label, New Trombone is an experimental video that delves into the perception of time as a fragmented, non-linear experience. Developed using AI-generated visuals with MidJourney and cinematic tools from Luma Labs, the piece blends digital surrealism with poetic narrative.
The video follows a bird that, after a seemingly mundane gesture — smoking a cigarette — disrupts reality and enters a dreamlike inner journey. Landscapes transform, time folds, and symbolic imagery unfolds in cycles. At the heart of the visual narrative lies Mount Teide, standing still as a geological witness to the ephemeral nature of thought and memory.
The looped ending, where the bird repeats the original gesture, challenges the viewer to consider what has truly changed. While the scene returns, the self has evolved. This work reflects on how certain moments leave invisible but permanent imprints within us.
