With What Shall I Wash

An animated short film in which the images blend with humor and originality.

Someone who earns their living in these parts makes their way home, sits down in front of the mirror and begins to remove their make-up.

"collage25" is an audiovisual intervention, in the form of divertimento, based on the film in the public domain "Carnival of Souls" by Herk Harvey (1962) that is part of a large experimental audiovisual research project that tries to explore, from the point of view of artistic-expressive activities, formal, structural, narrative and aesthetic issues. For this we intervene and construct variations, spatial and temporal of mythical scenes of the cinema that have passed through public domain. We modify its previous meanings, amplifying or varying its narrative value and its audiovisual aspect, tries to transfer, with moving images, expressive and emotional concepts to the screen. Repetitions reinforce the formal, narrative and structural aspects. Altering any resemblance to reality.
