"But good times will come back, you know - when these bad times are gone, Sir" (after Manchester Canal Song)

En primavera de 2010 grabé en vídeo de alta definición un vaso de plástico que flotaba en un canal mientras cruzaba mi pantalla, de izquierda a derecha. La edición digital del vídeo me permitió manipular su movimiento. Posteriormente teleciné a Súper 8 el vídeo ya editado con la intención de proyectarlo en bucle.

El vaso, probable resto de una noche de fiesta, era uno más de los de desechos que van y vienen en el canal que atraviesa una conocida zona de bares de la ciudad de Manchester.

Desde la distancia que separa al río de su imagen videográfica, este proyecto propone una relectura contemporánea del “eterno retorno” desde una perspectiva tecnológica; si el río fué mecánicamente convertido en canal para el transporte de mercancías en tiempos industriales, y en canal industrial en ruina de uso turístico en tiempos de la “economía de servicios”, el diseño, construcción y utilización de un mecanismo bucle para la proyección en de una película Súper 8 que contiene un material originariamente digital, recorre el camino inverso.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In Spring 2010 I captured in HD video a plastic glass floating in a canal. I edited its movement and later on transferred the clip onto Super 8 film that would be projected in a loop.

The glass was one amongst the many leftovers of a party night at the Manchester Canal that runs across a well known pub area of the city.

If this river was once mechanically converted into a canal for the transport of goods in industrial times, which later on became a cultural resource of leisure use in times of service economy, the design and construction of a loop mechanism for the projection of of a Super 8 film containing footage originally shot and edited in high quality video runs on the opposite direction.

As the lyrics of a traditional Manchester Canal Song, reenacted for a special BBC 4 program on this topic and contained in this vinyl record, "But good times will come back, you know - when these bad times are gone, Sir".
