by Carolina Bello (Author)

Con una escritura precisa e imágenes punzantes, Carolina Bello compone una cartografía de sensaciones que transitan entre lo visible y lo invisible, lo vivo y lo muerto, atravesada por una atmósfera melancólica de violencia y erotismo.

Un hecho fortuito coloca a Andrés Lavriaga, un prófugo que acaba de robar una sucursal de préstamos, y a Julia Bazin, una bióloga que llegó a un punto ciego en su vida, en el mismo escenario y con el mismo rótulo: son los únicos sobrevivientes de un triple accidente de tránsito en la ruta. Así empieza esta historia: con el desenlace de una secuencia que reconfigura la vida de los dos personajes, sus pasados y también el presente, que comparten en el hospital al que son derivados.

El resto del mundo rima narra la experiencia fantasmal de una mujer que desafía la lógica de la existencia. Que escapa de su internación, se esconde en un placar y usurpa la identidad de una doctora para acercarse al otro sobreviviente y, a partir de la vida de él, reinventar la suya. Julia, camuflada como Mónica Elzester, y Andrés, convaleciente, entablan una relación extraña y ambigua. Ambos buscan sentido en la memoria del otro, que se mezcla con películas, sueños y fragmentos leídos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With precise writing and sharp images, Carolina Bello composes a cartography of sensations that move between the visible and the invisible, the living and the dead, crossed by a melancholic atmosphere of violence and eroticism.

A fortuitous event places Andrés Lavriaga, a fugitive who has just robbed a pawnshop, and Julia Bazin, a biologist who has reached a blind spot in her life, in the same situation and with the same mark: they are the only survivors of a triple traffic accident. This is how this story begins: with the conclusion of a sequence that reconfigures the lives of these two characters --their pasts but also their present, which they share in the hospital to which they have been referred.

The Rest of The World Rhymes narrates the ghostly experience of a woman who defies the logic of existence. She escapes from her hospitalization, hides in a closet, and usurps the identity of a doctor in order to approach the other survivor. Then, taking cues from his life, she reinvents her own. Julia, disguised as Monica Elzester, and a convalescent Andrés enter a strange and ambiguous relationship. Both of them search for meaning in each other's memories, which are entangled with films, dreams, and textual fragments.
