In response to the challenge proposed by Kubik, the artist developed a video installation in which a glass of water was filmed in a fixed plan with an accentuated inclination. The image obtained by the camera counteracts its visual balance and needs to be corrected to recover its credibility. In Post-Production the process of correcting the image inclination for the glass to become levelled is made by the inclination of the monitor that shows it. This action of correction of the image, just to show a simple glass of water on its horizontal position it’s seen here in a humoristic fashion due to the absurd way that it’s made.
