Phantasia(xx)

X-ray images were invented in 1895, the same year in which the Lumière brothers presented their respective invention in what today is considered to be the first cinema screening. Thus, both cinema and radiography fall within the scopic regime inaugurated by modernity. The use of X-rays on two sculptures from the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum generates images that reveal certain elements of them that would otherwise be invisible to our eyes. These images, despite being generally created for technical or scientific purposes, seem to produce a certain form of 'photogénie': they lend the radiographed objects a new appearance that lies somewhere between the material and the ethereal, endowing them with a vaporous and spectral quality. It is not by chance that physics and phantasmagoria share the term 'spectrum' in their vocabulary.

Scratchman #2(en)

Scratched lines and shapes bloat around this footage of an unknown businessman, sometimes forming hats, clown noses, arrows, etc. He becomes a kind of pawn in my cruel little game. Sound is a musicbox which helps lift this once painfully boring footage to the level of high art. –H. M.

(D)Infinity(en)

(D)Infinity is a Sci-Fi animation exhibiting chaos and beauty in outer space. Using only graphite and paper the film renders the artist’s own interpretations of dimensional infinity. The universe consists from harmony and balance of the four fundamental forces of nature : Strong force, weak force, gravity, electro-magnetism. If the one of the forces is not in perfect figure relative to other three forces, the universe will collapse. The film (D)Infinity is a visual theory of the phenomenon when mankind’s technological advancement impact the nature of the four fundamental forces, which then lead to the destruction and new beginning of the universe.

Endless(en)

A meditation on the inevitable deterioration of certain traditional values that have been established (or destroyed) throughout civilization. This elegiac account uses symbolic representation from natural elements in order to convey the inevitability of remembering the social and cultural erosion, and places a layer of texture in front of the elliptical glimpses of imagery, separating the viewer from the past. The re-occurring image of flames remains untouched by the erosion aspects of reticulation, ultimately alluding to nature's powerful quality.
