Ver descrição

In this video, through programming, fragments of home movies from the 1920s are lattice and edited in random vertical lines. These lines, interrupting and/or stimulating diagonal connections in the image, allude to the shape of the initials MM, of the photographer Margrethe Mather. This, in the photo of a naked man holding a kimono, shows one of the main conflicts of photography: the gradation of tones inducing the illusion of reality against high contrast, which reaffirms graphic materiality (skin vs. print). In the video, the reticle breaks shades of gray into black and white, but maintains the illusion, hence the editing in lines, seeking to overlap a second high contrast to the illusion of a gradation of tones, in the formal continuity of the image.
