Centro de Creación Contemporánea Quinta del Sordo

In this proposal for a cinematographic installation it is inevitable to go directly to the Marcel Duchamp reference and at the end of the “ready made”, use an everyday object to create an artistic work, without hiding the origin of the object.

In particular, Out of Field, enters into what Duchamp calls “reciprocal ready made”, given that the object changes its function by extracting it from its usual use, by separating it from everyday use and placing it in another space if its connotation changes. and they fall “deterritorialized.”

This film installation presents several layers: a physical layer, which is the ceramic sink, to which is added a second layer, the video (loop image) of the sinks, which allows the object to shine with the light of This is an image in color, which surrounds us and creates a third layer, where that hybrid between the physical and the projected emerges. The fourth cover is the projection of the Fuera de Campo video, which is displayed on the wall in front of the sculptural object.

The visual is complemented by an acoustic layer (soundscape), in which the spaced and intermittent sounds of opening and closing the sink faucet, the flow of water through the siphon, transport us to the “everyday” relationship, subject – object. , which, in this case, refers to a situation “idealized” by families in settlements that lack public services.

The use of the washing machine, that “useful object” that we believe is in every home in Colombia; It goes from being seen as a useful object for everyday use, to an object that offers us a critical and reflective perspective on a problem of inequality.

In the installation, when using the concept of “found object” there is a double meaning, given that, in the end, the washed hand is an object that appears “outside the field”, without leaving the usual place, and at the same time, when placed in a space just for the sake of it, will refer us to one of my objectives, which is to highlight how this valuable object is not part of the home of the families that live in settlements in Colombia.
