ethall

ethall has a stable programme since 2011 in which includes the works by both consolidated artists and others at the beginning of their careers. The work that it develops is distinguished by maintaining a close collaboration with the artists, making possible the elaboration and presentation of their most committed proposals. The new gallery space in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat emphasizes the experimental nature of the exhibition projects.

The installation "La caza del zorro" takes the short film The Hunt Fox, from the Silly Symphony series produced by Walt Disney in 1931, and proposes a reflection on the mechanisms used in the industrial processes of animated cinema at that time to create the illusion of movement. It refers, on the one hand, to the synchronization of the sound with the image and, within this, to the relationship between the figure and the background.   

In the short films of those days, the backgrounds were made as strips of line drawings, which were repeated in a loop as a savings strategy of the assembly line production. In the thorough revision of this process, Vitaliti discovers the error that is fostered by a new braiding of the constituent elements of the film in order to provide a panoptic reading of it.
