Abstract

The experimentation in the short film The Breath (2022), seeks to distance itself from the field of possibilities (Flusser, 2019) designed for digital video cameras and make their noise a poetic and symbolic tool. This article is the manifestation of the aesthetic and technical ideas developed from the cinematography to build the perception of a spectrum. Turn the camera into an appendage of the body that, through an extreme setting of its sensitivity, allows us to see, though in a diffuse but overwhelming way, what is hidden in the night.
