José Val del Omar - Variations on a Pomegranate
Technique: 35 mm film. Color bi-standard 3.05.
Artist Biography:In 1973, his daughter María José and his son-in-law Gonzalo Sáenz de Buruaga gave him what was to be his last laboratory. Freed from administrative obligations and with his own space and means to develop his techniques, he put into practice what would be the most visionary of his creations, the PICTO LUMINICA AUDIO TACTIL. In this last stage, he experimented with laser and Bionic Optics, which he had presented at the UNIATEC congress in Moscow in 1976. With this technique, Val del Omar makes the viewer move around the images distorting them optically. He also creates the Plat Tetrascope - a projection technique between the still and the sequential image - generating a universe of images and sounds, manipulating all this through the "Truca Table", also created by him. The result is hundreds of diakinas and tetrakinas, recordings of "beaten" sounds, super 8 films, and among others, the filigree of Variations on a Pomegranate. Most of his collages as well as many of his techno-poetic writings, in which the keys to his mechamistic thought are captured, also correspond to this period. Determined to return to the cinema to collect in a final work, Ojala, the vortex of his Elemental Triptych of Spain, he was surprised by death as a result of a traffic accident in August 1982. Since then, Val del Omar has been living a growing Endlessness, just as his films and the works of an artist without end come to an end. He has been exhibited in: "From Gutenberg to Faraday", 2018, Galería Max Estrella, Madrid. Armory Show, 2019. "Cinema of Sensations: The Never Ending Screen of Val del Omar," 2023, MoMI, New York.
