El mundo antes del mundo (The World Before the World) explores how movement shapes our perception of contemporary landscapes. Filmed from the windows of public transport, the work observes how repeated routes – highways, industrial zones, and peripheral spaces - begin to reflect and distort one another, forming a continuous landscape. Through visual repetition and deformation, these images merge into a collective memory, creating a shared geography, a memory of something that never existed. Time appears suspended, as if the future were no longer arriving.

Aleksandra Ershova is a visual artist and researcher based in Barcelona, working across moving image, sound, and immersive media. Her practice explores perception, affect, and the relationship between body and image, often engaging with cinematic language in expanded forms. She is currently completing a Master’s degree in Film Studies and Visual Cultures at ESCAC and is applying to the PhD program in Communication at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where she intends to further develop her research on perception, affect, and audiovisual experience.
