AZNAR

José Maria Aznar was prime minister between 1996 and 2004. Here episodes from his years in power are shown in black and white. Vergara’s act of painting emphasizes and challenges the content of the documentary images. He traces the cinematic images with his brush, while the hand he is painting with moves between the images and a glass screen. Sometimes the brush moves across the glass, leaving paint sweeps behind. Vergara is intimating that he tales his paint from the cinematic images, to eventually leave it on the filmed glass.
