Lives in Trenton (USA) Video, installation. Bio     Graduating in 1997 from the Instituto de Artes de las Comunicaciones (ARCOS), Santiago, Endress received a fellowship to take a Master of Arts degree at Syracuse University, New York (1998). His work incorporates aspects of his identity and environment. His video creations and documentaries reveal a very personal style of editing and camera work, with a constant interest in the relation between the natural and built landscape, as well as in the human presence and personal histories created in these spaces. Endress made the videos “Interview # 1” (1999), “Anonymous” (1999), “Exit 6” (1999), “Elvis Hates America” (2000) and “Communicating Communitas” (2000). In his video “La memoria de los caracoles” (The Memory of the Snails) (2001), he looks at his own history and that of his family in the context of Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile. Endress returns to the theme of Chile’s dictatorship and its relation with the country’s typical religious customs in his video “La procession” (2001). Setting images of a religious procession against those of a military parade, Endress reflects on the sociocultural structures of Latin America. In his video installation “Facets and Faces” (2000), he offers a portrait of the indigenous musicians of the Wayuu community on the Guajira Peninsula in the north of Colombia. Using audiovisual collage, Endress expresses the community’s polysemic identity represented by the oral tradition. www.bondieubon.net www.in-centropia.net http://nodo00.bondieubon.net//a>   E-Mail edgar70@hotmail.com -Video creations and documentaries. -Videos: “Interview # 1” (1999), “Anonymous” (1999), “Exit 6” (1999), “Elvis Hates America” (2000) y “Communicating Communitas” (2000), “La memoria de los caracoles” (2001).
