Aura in flashback
2021
Mono channel video
Aesthetic exercise. This reflection arose for new mechanisms that the laws against copyright cannot touch or reach. Essay about the evocative power of cinematographic memory; Hacking the filmmaker’s (and the viewer’s) gaze that confronts on a common screen in resistance to intellectual property policies.
Film made with instructions quotes in which the viewer simultaneously makes his personal montage from the memories of the same films mentioned. An experimental mechanism of observing a film of appropriation from previous memories and experiences. An interesting phenomenon is that when the viewers do not recognise the quote, they use their imagination to cover the mentioned «space» in the film.
The cult value outweighs the exhibition value.
