[EN] This article focuses on the video pieces from the
project The act of seeing with no eyes (2020). The
project consists of two videos that explore the concept
of visuality as an instrument of power and a legitimising
tool for the politics of domination and inequality.
By the use of appropriated archive images, and
using collage as the main montage technique, as
well as a deconstructive strategy of appropriated
material - the images are cut, superimposed and
juxtaposed in a plastic way -, relations and contrasts
are established between images captured by control
and surveillance devices, together with different tests
of visual perception.
Through the formal and thematic analysis of the
video pieces proposed in the project, as well as the
study and comparison with other artistic references,
the intention is to rethink the dialectic of the montage
used, and how it allows us to re-signify the appropriated
images, questioning visuality as a discourse of
progress and emancipationAyuda Predoctoral Conselleria (ACIF/2019/010) con cofinanciación del Fondo Social Europeo.Císcar-Cebria, A. (2021).
