Lately I’ve been doing a lot of photographs of my desk, right
now I have more than 2.000. All those images are ‘macros’ shot
with an iPod Touch and Hipstamatic, so the quality is really
bad, but I prefer this kind of aesthetics and textures than
standard video. The idea is starting a series called
‘materialist film’ with the heading ‘this is not cinema’.  I’ve
always wanted to make a video entitled ‘this is not cinema’ as a
kind of a joke about the boundaries between cinema and video,
and lately I’ve realised that there’re a lot of apps that
imitate the aesthetics of old photography and movie cameras
(Polaroids, 8mm, etc.), so I though that it would be funny to
create materialist films with those apps.  The first image of
this post is a straight photo of my white desk made with
Hipstamatic. The second image is the same photo cut and resized
to 1280 x 720 pixels, with a sharpening filter –I’m doing the
same to all the original files. I’m shooting just the surface of
the white table using John S lens and Ina’s
