Statement
Andrés Denegri approaches the visual arts combining film, video, installations and photography. His projects generate dialogues between different formats, addressing them poetically and conceptually, creating tension in the classic uses of audiovisual technologies. Vintage film projectors are the protagonists of many of Denegri’s installations: from portable family devices to powerful industrial machines are combined in the production of kinetic objects where celluloid leaves the projector and travels through the space transited by the viewer.
Additional information
La imagen de la bandera argentina flameando es retenida por un pequeño rectángulo negro que se encuentra a pocos centímetros del lente del proyector. La luz que desborda impacta sobre la pared y forma un rectángulo vacío. La película que sale del proyector genera un recorrido caprichoso e inútil.
The image of the Argentine flag waving is retained by a small black rectangle that is located a few inches from the projector lens. The overflowing light hits the wall creating an empty rectangle. The film that comes out of the projector generates a whimsical and useless journey.
