La Plaza II belongs to Ruiz' series of films programmed as closed systems or universes. The subject of La Plaza II is cyclic time and the crossing of simultaneous time in one space. The piece is built from individual shots looping simultaneously and desynchronously. Everybody is moving over an invisible endless rolling corridor. The common ground reveals itself as an illusion through the diverse direction of the shadows and spatial incoherence of the architecture. The reduction in motion applied to the figures operates as a reduction in character, and their archetypal appearance is unavoidable.
