Zombi Zapping

This film is a medley of ten TV networks. A lame, inconclusive zapping in which the characters, similar to zombies, appear trapped in an eternal loop.

I found an old Thomson TV set, with an integrated video-recorder. I started watching VHS of various kinds, I pressed the stand-by button and noticed the strange wobbly effect that was being generated. The film is made exclusively of freeze images, taken from VHSs of various genres. In order to film the TV screen I used a Huawei smartphone, positioned on a random support. The characters look like zombies and represent a gangrenous society. The dynamic effect takes the repetition of gestures to extremes, highlighting the chronic instability that characterises the human being and the frenzy that pervades his self-assured and homologated everyday loop.
