At the beginning of the year, the students visited the exhibition of American video creator Bill Viola, "Vía Mística", which took place in our city. We tackle the genre of video creation in the classroom.We decided to design a video-creation experiment using mobile devices that consisted of a different approach to the heritage elements of the city of Cuenca (Spain). We selected the Plateresque little door of the Church of the Virgin of Light, the Renaissance façade of the Episcopal Palace and the Bridge of San Pablo.
Each student is awarded a part of the architectural element that should be recorded with the video of their mobile device, previously recorded the minute before arrival at the monument and the minute after the removal of it. In this way, the piece is, at the same time, a traditional film with plot, knot and end (approach, reconstruction and distancing) and, at the same time, a piece of video creation as it visually reflects on the multiple levels of reality that they can accumulate around a concrete image, a patrimonial icon in this case.Finally, it aims to offer a reflection on the possibilities of the mobile as a collaborative object-tool instead of only an isolation device.The performance was carried out in the two recesses and it was frenetic and fun.
