VIDEO RUANA VERSUS BIKINI La idea del video Ruana vs. Bikini, era primero que todo hacer un homenaje a la ruana, la ruana blanca de lana de Cajicá. También era la oportunidad de esculcar el clóset de Andrea y sacar su colección de ruanas a la luz. Cada ruana generaba un nuevo personaje, con las […]

KAJÍ means mambe, the traditional and endemic method of consuming coca leaf, practiced exclusively in the Colombian Amazon. The leaf is toasted, ground into a fine powder, then sieved and mixed with yarumo ash, which activates its properties. The balance in the use of this sacred plant is sustained by preparations of bitter cassava, which, along with tobacco and yagé, form a complementary ecosystem that supports the health and well-being of the community.
KAJÍ is the first immersive documentary made in Colombia, created in collaboration with the community of San Miguel, located along the Pira Paraná River in the territory of the self-named Jaguars of Yuruparí (Hei Yai Keti Oka). This piece is the result of over 15 years of relationship between the collective 4Direcciones Audiovisual (Diana Rico and Richard Décaillet) and various communities in the Vaupés department of Colombia.
In 2017, we flew in 2 Cesnas to the remote community of San Miguel with Nicolás Jolliet and worked for two weeks in Benjamín’s maloka, one hour into the forest from the main settlement. Together with the family who inhabits this house of thought and the payé (traditional doctor) Juan Buitrago (Barasano), we explored new ways of capturing the experience of mambeo and life inside the maloka. We used experimental technologies such as the GoPro Fusion prototype, Google Jump, custom low-light rigs, and drones that enabled the recording of unprecedented scenes. It was a collaborative shoot in which coca—Kají—was present as guide and co-creator of the final piece.
A fundamental element of KAJÍ is its sound design, a spatialized polyphonic composition for VR created with Reynel Ortega by 4Direcciones Audiovisual and Miguel Navas, based on traditional chant knowledge. Reynel is a Kumu (senior traditional doctor) and Hee-gu, World Curator and keeper of the Yuruparí dance, one of the highest traditional authorities in the territory of the Jaguars of Yuruparí. A member of the Barasano people, his ancient knowledge holds the secret of communication between humans and nature.
