Cineco is a Dutch firm that makes copies of long feature commercial movies for the country’s main movie theatres. It also restores old gems from the past sometimes dating from the late 19th century. The CEO asked me to produce a sculpture in 15 samples in order to give it as a gift to his most precious clients.
I came with the idea of making an object “speaking” the language of the cinematography. The object is narrative. Each glass sheet relates to cinematography.
First, the drawing of a camera designed by Newton: it talks about Heritage. Then, new technology with a digital chip: it shows Cineco brings as much importance to the past than to a promising future. With the colour test film sample on one glass sheet, I wanted to give a universal trademark of the laboratory realm; the “china girl” who’s flesh skin reminds of china porcelain. And finally the creative mind with a film director lying on the grass of a field looking through a lens of a camera... The viewer looks at all the image in transparency and makes it as a whole entity.
