GALUPPO, Gustavo. Frente al vacío cuerpos, espacios y gestos en el videoarte. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2015, n.52, pp.31-48. ISSN 1853-3523.

The article focuses on the concept of "video work staging", in which the body and the space are related in various ways, sometimes elusive, sometimes close to their very existence as empty gestures without apparent consequences within a possible story linked to the logic of causality. The idea is then to establish and develop a reflection on those expressive video modes, relating them to the registration modes of the body and the space in the cinematic image of the narrative tradition. Traditionally dominant film formats establish standardized ways of linking bodies and spaces according to a functional logic that responds to a classic biases narration. In the field of video, on the other hand, the inscription of the body in space through actions has been detached from those narrative needs, so their functions are expanded in a heterogeneous search that faces the spectator to a variety of gestures that often only responds to his own existence. Empty gestures. Useless actions. Unjustified situations. Bodies (human or animal) and spaces that establish relations within an image that deprives them of a perfectly functional clarity. This work aims to relate the expressive ways of film and video related to that specific topic, emphasizing the relationship established between the spectator and the work. From a brief historical survey of both media that serves to put into perspective the addressed axis, the text will focus on contemporary argentine videographers whose work sets itself a reflection on the linking of body, space, and the look involved. They will be related to other international works and Khourian Hernan, Andres Denegri, Toia Bonino and Javier Plano videos.
