T AUMÁTROPO

A few days after officially closing the quarter and thus the course of creative methods to expose here a end of that work. As a self-portrait, a autofotorretrato is the representation of oneself in an image, whose main base is a picture, incorporating certain features (either by touch or by the same composition of the photo) that we consider private and that somehow we represent more or lesser extent. In short, to shape part of our being in a photograph then proceed to modify, if they wish.

My autofotorretrato is based on the first form of animation of still images that existed, the precursor of the zoetrope and other gadgets that allow the development of cinema. I speak, therefore, the thaumatrope, spinning wonder, a toy that was invented in the early decades of the nineteenth century and became quite popular in Victorian times. Developed, among many other inventions, for demonstrate the principle of persistence of vision, by which it was said that the eye is able to retain the last image seen for a moment on the retina, allowing a succession of images at high speed of sense of continuity. Thus the invention consisted of a cardboard disc, whose faces were captured two different patterns that spin rapidly about the axis thereof by two ropes tied to their ends, creating the illusion that both images were part the same composition, as if they merged into a single image. One of the most famous examples This optical illusion is the illusion of the bird and cage, retratata in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow , though it were a deliberate anachronism, because in the time that tells the story still the thaumatrope had not been invented.

When an object characteristic of the nineteenth century, a period with which I feel particularly connected, I figured it would be a good base to start the autofotorretrato. Moreover, the fact that it is an optical illusion, it also reflects my taste for the extraordinary and the supernatural, expressed in the simplest way possible. The two images below there are two sides that make up the thaumatrope. In one of them only see a silhouette completely black, opaque on a purple background (a color that I personally have always related to the imagination and fantasy), which highlights a somewhat minimalist self and the world, while the other image , delves deeper into the inner self and away from all adornment. also include the two masks that are completely antagonistic to each picture (comedy and tragedy) representing a shield my love for theater and interpretation.

Thus the two images, with all elements, are facets of me, make me give meaning to what I really am, so it is necessary that both act together and merge to form a single entity, but even I know for certain who I am and for some it may seem it's all wishful thinking.
