Legerdemain

Directed by Carlos Vásquez Méndez

Legerdemain is a piece commissioned by the CCCB (Barcelona Center for Contemporary Culture) to be included in a program about film & music aimed at both adults and children. This short film piece is made up of sound essays produced by the fingers of one hand touching surfaces, pressing buttons and activating everyday artifacts that are undergoing a process of obsolescence, following a time cycle of 56 beats per minute.
