Topographies of a distant noise

Topographies of a distant noise was born from the digital intervention of a family movie filmed in 8 mm in 1970. These images, already digitized, are processed and vectorized frame to frame. In this way it is composed a materiality of multiple monochromatic crossed lines, representing on one side the structure of each image, and generating in its succession a visual noise in constant transformation. It focuses on the textures that emerge by shaping terrain, shapes and forms, proposing a permanent play between the formal limits among abstraction and figuration. It seeks to put in tension the referent of the film register; what it has been (characters in a space-time recorded with a camera at 18 frames per second) along with what it is (figures dissolved in surfaces and reliefs of a visual and sonorous matter in constant mutation and alteration, where the part is confused with the whole). It seeks to propose a denature look over the appearance of the represented, revelating new esthetic properties.
