»O Cobra Verde« is a night shot video, that presents a long traveling shot
over a two hundred year old ivy, which crawls along an iron fence. The
video unveils the secular struggle of the plant, moving and eating iron in
its passage. This hybrid being unleashes this strange and intense lament.

Excerpt from the text by Natxo Checa.
