BACKGROUND

This film is currently not available.   
BACKGROUND is a video-performance work by Cuban multimedia artist Jorge Luis Santana Pérez. The work creates visual correspondences between the bodies of men and women and tools stored in a case, matching bodily gestures with the characteristic movements of objects such as a hammer, pliers, and screwdriver. Through extensive editing and layered imagery, Santana transforms the human body into an analogy for mechanical tools, questioning the relationship between the body, objects, function, and visual representation.
