ZERAFILM

Serafín Ziquer Xavier / Zerafílm

I have always been drawn to human stories. Both the visible and the hidden ones. There is much being said in a silence, a burden too heavy to carry alone sometimes, especially for a child. But all of us have one, a quietness within us, that screams loudly. Through art, I try to give these voices a body.

My work moves between film, text, sound, image, and sculpture made with a body.
I seek what cannot be said directly, what can only be sensed in a gesture, a breath, a glance.

Zerafílm is my platform, a space where the documentary meets poetic realism, the surreal and the abstract, where the ordinary becomes myth.

In my art project "I DEMONERNAS ANDETAG", I explore the inner and outer struggles of the human being.
Through psychology, philosophy, religion, and mythology, I examine the boundaries between reality and the inner world, between guilt and freedom, darkness and grace.
It is a poetic journey into what we prefer not to see, often ignored. but yet what shapes us more than anything else.

For me, art is not about explaining, but about creating spaces where the viewer can feel, remember, and perhaps recognize themselves.
​

Having worked as an professional actor, artist and performer since 1995,
I bring the language of the body and theatre into my visual storytelling.

No single form of art has ever felt sufficient to contain what I wish to express.
Every medium opens a new door . Film, text, sound, and performance are all fragments of one larger language.
My work exists where these fragments meet. And for me, the art itself should be free, be allowed to speak for itself and not constrained by political, religious or economic restraints.
