Terranova

Based on the novel "La mar es mala mujer" (Raúl Guerra Garrido, 1987), "Newfoundland" tells the gauge of a man who faces his fate. Antxón Elizalde, an experienced skipper of a fishing boat, clashes a young captain, Jose Antonio Errandonea, who is also disputing the love of his partner in land, Ainara. The sea and women seem to be the same. Antxón will have to work hard to retrieve his job, his love and his status for the others and for himself. Icebergs going adrift, ice and gigantic sea waves form the landscape of this story loaded with epics and legend. Newfoundland means struggling against the sea and the elements, against accidents on board. Against love and death.

Un Beso

Un Beso was made in the mid-90s and represented, for obvious reasons, a thematic transgression at the time of its presentation in the Spanish context. The video travels through different spaces, among which are the contradictions implicit in personal relationships or collaborative work, and it does so through a minimalist image composition that alludes, through the use of black and white, to the first performative videos made in the 60s/70s. A heated discussion between the two artists, the topic of which is irrelevant, serves as a sound frame for a close-up of a long kiss. During the action, faces seem to fight to occupy the center of the screen while escaping the gaze. The video is a kind of game in which a fiction with hints of reality and a reality with hints of fiction merge, causing a paradoxical ambiguity.
