Le rose, le bleu

Physical rehabilitation has become a significant area in Edgar Ulises' life because of the fracture he has in his left humerus, the product of a period of chronic stress. Thus, exercise became a necessity for him, although all his experiences with sports during his childhood were fraught with bullying due to his effeminate behavior. This accident forces him to ask himself: if he had been a heterosexual man, would he have had a good relationship with sports? He asks himself this question in Paris, where he is studying for a master's degree in filmmaking, and, from the solitude of his room and with no production budget, decides to contact Club Muxes, the only LGBTQTQ+ soccer team in Mexico, his country of origin. The conversation takes place over the phone, and the images we see are sent by the club's communications department.

Phantasia
2024 · ★ 8
X-ray images were invented in 1895, the same year in which the Lumière brothers presented their respective invention in what today is considered to be the first cinema screening. Thus, both cinema and radiography fall within the scopic regime inaugurated by modernity. The use of X-rays on two sculptures from the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum generates images that reveal certain elements of them that would otherwise be invisible to our eyes. These images, despite being generally created for technical or scientific purposes, seem to produce a certain form of 'photogénie': they lend the radiographed objects a new appearance that lies somewhere between the material and the ethereal, endowing them with a vaporous and spectral quality. It is not by chance that physics and phantasmagoria share the term 'spectrum' in their vocabulary.
