SYNOPSIS:

The self is never just "itself" because the individual when interacting socially adopts many roles, their behaviour varies depending on the social environment, we are different from our mother, from our co-workers, or from our partner or friends. This multifaceted character of our personality derives in the typical identity problems. Man's need to cover himself and undress himself of all masks is what makes his search for his own identity imperative and even tragic. Faced with the hierarchical perspective of identity, at an intersubjective level, what we really are cannot be defined as a rigid arrangement, but rather as a loose juxtaposition of identities. Our social identity arises from the dynamic and diachronic relationship of multiple partial identities, dynamic and diachronic because the possibility of creating and breaking masks is characteristic of development as an individual.

Kinetic Self-Portrait consists of an experimental video in the form of a triptych, which reflects on the identity/alignment duality. The video shows a piece of machinery that rotates three different versions of the same portrait. When the mechanism works, the image blurs, blurring the characteristics of the portrayed person.

SYNOPSIS:

The video consists of an experimental abstract animation, divided into a series of sequences of approximately 30 seconds each, made by creative coding software. The animation is made by basic shapes such as ellipses and rectangles that form different patterns on the screen. All of them together form a visual composition minimalistic and poetic. Each composition uses the same color pattern, gray for the background and yellow for the shapes, making them regular and symmetrical. Also, an audio file supports each composition. The movement of the shapes follows the rhythms of the audio.
