Take 1 (2011)
TAKE 1

Sergio Belinchón collects found footage, found Super 8 films that, by editing and assembling are used to keep telling the stories that interest him. The result of these recent works is the series Take 1,. The starting point of this new work are some movies where the world crumbles cinema’s world from various amateur films of  an anonymous author. Using a sterile and scientific editing, it is a film formed only by the first take of each of the different shots, exposing the strengths of the shoot, and shooting bugs and actors’ errors, who are employees of a multinational representing their own work. Thus, it is a reflection on the work processes, on the representation itself while documenting the time (70’s), so close and so distant from us. Together with the video, the artist presents a series of twenty photographs taken from these films, showing the different slates with the take one of each shot.
