The Kiss

2014, Spain, 35mm transferred to video, b/w, sound by Alfredo Costa Monteiro, approx. 20 min.

Based on the film THE KISS (T. Edison 1896) in its original 35mm format, this video-film project is based on a structural re-shooting and re-recording of the original film in all the existing formats: analog, electronic and digital, in an evolutive form. The film is a reiteration of the act of kissing. The emphasis on the kiss, repeated and multiplied, while deteriorated in its own progress. The history of the evolution of formats through a kiss. An intimate and aesthetic relationship between media and audio-visual formats.
