# Woven Cinematic Captures Lucas Simões Honors the Birth of Cinema By Ana Lopez | Published 2011-12-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wowen-cinematic-installations-lucas-simoes-honors-the-birth-of-cinema References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/sequential-waves-photos-simulate-flipbook) & [lucassimoes.br](http://www.lucassimoes.com.br/) When filmmamker Eadweard Muybridge first discovered cinema, he did something similar to São Paulo, Brazil-based artist Lucas Simões -- he used several photographs together to recreate one single action. Similarly, Simões weaves a series of sequential photos to produce a sense of motion and, thus, create a short story. The series titled Quasi-cinema and consists of a collection of shots delicately bended in half and sewed together on fabric and wood. The slight bend creates a distorted sequence of action of a subject on location. In order to create a sense of motion, each photo is slightly different from the other, but once woven together, they give life to a narrative. The artist explains, "They are photos that represent a frame from a film. Each photo is often revealed by merely moving the image within the photo a few millimeters." Lucas Simões honors the birth of cinema in an artistic and unique way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sequential Photography:** Use of sequential photos woven together to create a sense of motion and storytelling. - **Distorted Narrative:** Deliberate bending and sewing of images to create a distorted sequence of action. - **Motion Through Variation:** Creating a sense of motion by using slightly different photos woven together. ### Who This Affects Most - **Visual Arts:** Opportunity for artists to experiment with new techniques and storytelling methods. - **Film and Entertainment:** Incorporating sequential photography techniques in cinematography for unique storytelling. - **Interior Design:** Use of woven cinematic captures as artistic decor in homes, offices, and public spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Multi-Lens Capture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker-multi-cam.md) - [Brazilian Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-tension.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Modernist Artful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colendra.md) - [Optical Illusion Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenticular-weave.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Sculpted Rhythm Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection.md)
