LA LINEA: mi cuaderno café 8'36"
A short art film of my brown sketchbook (duration 8'36")
On straight lines (after Georges Perec) “If I mend at this rate, it is not impossible...but I may arrive hereafter at the excellency of going even thus: _____________________________________________________ which is a line drawn as I could draw it by a writing-master’s ruler...
The right line, the path-way for Christians to walk in! Say Divines, - The emblem of moral rectitude! says Cicero, - - The best line! say cabbage planters, - is the shortest line, says Archimedes, which can be drawn from one given point to another. (Lawrence Sterne, Tristram Shandy in Species of Spaces).
Also: - The line as in the aesthetics of a human figure (esp. female figure) ie. ‘hay que cuidar la linea’. - Line of work ie. of whatever stuff an employee is expected to produce or come up with.

From 2001: A Space Odyssey to Mad-Max, 2019
I am visiting my parents in the same house where I grew up. Browsing through some of my things I found a sketchbook, a present I received in December, 2000. Many of the drawings and sketches I created in it are dated early 2001, year of fond memories and certainly survived all the hype and non-sense of the year Y2K! If looking at the futuristic scenes of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, released before the moon landing) ... one can only look at it as an outdated film esp. as the future is no longer what it used to be!
