Abstract [en]
For my graduation project I was interested in title cards, intertitles and captions from past films and clips. I am fascinated by their typography and art, but also the visual aspects of age and use. Aided by the writings of the artist and filmmaker Hito Steyerl, I explored the world of the poor quality image, an image that has been copied and pasted into different (mainly digital) channels of distribution. I found my own way of translating the visual language of an image with a past. Quoting one of the most retold (copied and pasted) plays; The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark written by William Shakespeare, ca 1600.
