Expanded Film Performance by Azucena Losana

Film support as a plastic source is an investigation that in this performance proposes the formal study of the perforation as a fundamental element of analogic film, and the human face as a representation, as a color chart configuration and as a target of electronic detectors.
Several meters of 35mm film from the color reference strips known as “china girl” and other 16mm close up takes were perforated and their faces were exchanged manually to other faces; the film perforations are displayed iteratively on live performance.
The final piece is a performance that was developed during the residence of the 12° Mostra Strangloscope in Florianópolis, Brazil and premiered at the Cinemateca del Museo de Arte of Rio de Janeiro during the Festival Internacional de Cine Experimental Dobra.
