Picture Enlarged To Show Detail

Picture Enlarged To Show Detail is a screening programme of several works on film by Bruno Delgado Ramo plus a site-specific cinema-based performance which ushers in the event itself, pointing out the body dimension of film presentation. ‘Expectation In the Air’ continues this reflection playing with the required conditions for projection to show up. Both ‘Locations’ and ‘Una película en color’ explore single enclosed spaces. Seeking to investigate the relationship between camera and room, between film-gate and window, they are edited in-camera, in-room. ‘Unabridged Maneuver’ follows up on in-camera editing while examining the double sense of manoeuvre as the material operations carried out with one’s hands and the procedures on board when approaching a harbour.

Bruno Delgado Ramo is a filmmaker and artist-researcher who explores site-specific features and incorporates them into his films and screening arrangements. He devises his work as research grounded in material and experimental practice of cinema means, leading to films, installations, live proposals and text matter. His work has been internationally presented at film festivals and art spaces.
