The video work TRAY TRAY KO (BIG WATERFALL) is based on the idea of a waterfall called a trayenko by the Mapuche people - an indigenous population spread between Chile and Argentina and from which the artist originates.

The trayenko is part of a vision of the world and designates a vital and sacred space for many Mapuche practices; the flow of water, in particular the trayenko, is of the utmost importance and is linked to the lawen - medicinal herbs that grow near bodies of water.

In this filmed performance, we can see the movement of the artist's body, dressed in a huge electric blue cape, as it makes its way through the forest, eventually entering the river and the waterfall. With this film, Seba Calfuqueo proposes a reflection on human smallness within the immensity of nature.
