00-Negro is a cinematic digital work that explores the intersections of identity, agency, and the “Spy-Fi” genre of the 1960s. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach that blends visual design with conceptual storytelling, the piece subverts the traditional Eurocentric archetype of the gentleman spy. Set against a backdrop of classical architectural grandeur and serene landscapes, the work juxtaposes the elegance of formal wear with the tension of high-stakes espionage. This piece continues an ongoing investigation into the reclamation of historical narratives, challenging the viewer to reconsider who is granted the authority of the protagonist within the “Golden Age” of cinema.
