59” consists in a series of unconnected sequences, each of which is 59 seconds long. Each sequence consists of a video collage made up of images downloaded from the internet. Influenced by surrealism and theories of absurdity, I create new images with the decontextualization and juxtaposition of these found images, intending to generate metaphors and visual poetry while questioning the idea of authorship and intellectual property.
