Trio in Super8
2016
Trio in Super 8 (Trío en Súper 8) is a book in collaboration between the artist Alberto Pina and the writer Andrés Barba, second title of El cañón de Garibaldi ediciones. It describes a young married couple during the summer of the birth of their first child. That saturated and sentimental imagery typical of the super 8 film is adapted here to the appearance of a “third” that disarms the balance of the couple and turns it simultaneously into a family and a cheerful three-headed monster.
“What is the person filming the child looking for? It is difficult to know, but whatever it is, it is rough and it is not on the surface but in the roots of the flesh, it is hidden, concealed. The duration of the shot as well as the immobility of the child who seems to have learned to spy on the adults until they manifest themselves on their own. Just as all sadness is disguise, all joy is nakedness.”
