SPIT MACHINE RETURNS

The piece is based in Spit Machine (Juan Pablo Macias, 2006) in which we see the artist standing in front of the camera and then spitting at it. The action repeats, each time reducing the speed of reproduction by half. This causes the image and sound to turn heavier. The video reaches its more powerful point during the last repetition in which the spit particles are paused for a few seconds while the resounding sound recalls us a war machine.

I proposed to Juan Pablo Macias to make the counterpart of the video. This time I would receive the onslaughts of the original video. I would present myself as the support for the original video that, at the same time, functions as the support for the outcome.

The assembly of the piece is not as presented. Each video should play in a different television set, one set in front of the other, thirty centimeters of distance one of the other.
