Fun Facts of Movie

Photograph (post) 3 is the scanned image of the entire videotape [48 »]. It contains the text (post) (3) generated by digital editing software (non-linear). It is therefore an attempt at «cinema» (post). The work has multiple and cross references.

These are some of them:

  • The relationship between NARCISO and ECO (recreated by Ovido in his / s «META» _morphosis)
  • Audio and video as parts (or not) of a multimedia whole (post)
  • Friendship and love as an almost pitiful acceptance of appearances (I quote Beckett quoting Proust)
  • The work of Marcel Broodthaers «Second of eternity» cited by José Luis Brea in his text «Contemporary transformations of the image-movement: postphotography, postcinema, postmedia» available at: http://mpison.webs.upv.es/2222/textos/brea.htm This text, among other readings, inspired part of the conceptualization of this work.

This work is dedicated to JLB (10 years + late)
