A la puta strasse. Not Just a Barcelona

The temple of the bohemians in Barcelona closes down on November the 1st, 2013. This evening, guests attend the bar 'Segundo Acto' located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. Emilio is the soul of the venue, where artists and bohemians have gathered for almost 20 years. George Cervantes, considered the guru of cannabis cultivation; Quico Palomar, the founder of 'La Fura dels Baus' and unknown singer and dreamer; or Corvus, considered the most brilliant contemporary painter of the Old Town, are some of the regulars in the place. They are the last witness of the Barcelona underground.

Opossum Resilience

Opossum Resilience is inspired on a series of encounters and interviews with a Zapotec female land defender. This place-based fabulation grounded in the valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, bastardizes Mesoamerican myths around four figures: a Hill, an Agave, an Opossum and Lady Reed. Lady Reed is a mythical Mixtec character who helps the opossum to cut the agave leaves in order to get its sugary alcoholic sap. Opossum Resilience overlaps the time of creation with a contemporary socio-environmental conflict around the imposition of a mining project in an Indigenous Territory. It summons the powers of festivity and inhebriation; and imagines an opossum providing an activist with the mythical powers to play dead and then revive.

Bliss

«Bliss» is about the end of the world and the end of the internet. The music created by Edgar Mondragón reflects about the saturation of digital files in post-internet world. So the images are intended to simulate chaotic atmospheres. Starting from the disintegration of various visual symbols, a campfire is superimposed on materials found on the internet mixed with personal audiovisual material that also simulates being part of the digital archive. Each layer is rhythmically and counterpoint interposed in order to think about the destruction of the world.

Fragmentos desde el exilio

A surefire tactic: science fiction is ideal for political criticism. Alleged reports made in 2015 in Córdoba and summarized 50 years later by an alien allow us to investigate ubiquitous police control, the technical evolution of humans, the political history of the province, and the relationship of all this to Macri's victory that year. The instability of the images and the perplexed tone of the agent's voiceover create the narrative distance necessary to undermine any form of ideological certainty.
