Abstract

The Qatsi trilogy, directed by Godfrey Reggio throughout the last three decades of the twentieth century and formed by Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002), created a new paradigm in how we film our environment and our relationship with it, assuming a posthumanist logic in its approach. Through technical and narrative experimentation, modifying our perception of time and space, it gives us a better understanding of the changes taking place in the world and a consideration, without using any words, of the path we should be taking both globally and locally, creating a narrative that relates the human footprint, technological evolution, and the relationship to ecology. This article examines those considerations and their true relationship to posthumanism, while at the same time considering world comprehension logics with regard to nature both in Galicia and in Portugal during the last half century.
