Separated by more than four centuries, two technologies as diverse as theatrical illusionism and computer science meet in an audiovisual dialogue created by high school students from the Visser't Hooft Lyceum in Leiden (The Netherlands) under the direction of Ana Santos and Nöel Palazzo, founders of the international platform Punto y Raya, dedicated to the production, promotion and education of audiovisual arts in their purest state.
This powerful abstract film - born from a workshop held in December 2023 at the Cervantes Institute in Utrecht - was created frame by frame by drawing directly on the tablet with the free FlipaClip application and using the reflections produced by a four-sided cone with an angulation of 45º with respect to the surface of the screen.
The ghostly effect known as Pepper's ghost, which consists of seeing the reflection of the real image through the angulation of acetate sheets and glass panels, merges with 21st century computer technology to create Fantasmagorías abstractas, an evocative and emotive film, in which abstraction becomes a universal language (form, color, movement and sound) accessible to all.
