Printed Cinema
The publication project Printed Cinema - ten irregular periodical issues -
continues Rosa Barba audiovisual work as a personal reflection on the essence of the cinematographic: images are merely articulated in the space in-between images. Gaps, ellipses, dialectics between images - essentially modernist notions - are essential in that respect. In Printed cinema this is expressed in the editing principle, as well as the oppositions between film and printing, between text and image. Apart from the specific distribution method, of course, which extends the project into a wide range of cultural and social contexts. In this way Printed Cinema challenges the outer edges of the artist's book. Mechanisms proper to the film medium find their translation in a different context.
