Phantasia

This film is currently not available.   
The radiographic image was invented around 1895, the same year the Lumière brothers presented their invention in what is considered the first cinematographic projection. Both cinema and radiography, therefore, fall within a scopic regime inaugurated by modernity.
Applying X-rays to two sculptures in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum generates images that reveal certain elements of them that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. These images, generally created for technical or scientific purposes, seem, nevertheless, to produce a kind of 'photogenic quality': they give the radiographed objects a new appearance, somewhere between the material and the ethereal, endowing them with a vaporous and spectral quality. It is no coincidence that physics and phantasmagoria share the term 'spectrum' in their vocabulary.
