Festival Okuparte, Spain.

recidency from 20.3.-15.5.07

Ayuntamiento de Huesca - área de cultura

The project for Huesca I named : "ESTAMOS FELICES".

I separated it into two parts to create a conversation between

two elements, stability and the moment.

1/Part > Audiovisual performance :

I chose the square in front of the Cathedral for audiovisual

performance because of its history and atmosphere.

It was a meeting place of events that had only existence

in the moment. By using electronic sounds and real-time

video I connected people to the past and the presence.

2/ Part > Instalacion in Antiquo seminario :

chocolate sculpture - person,with castel on her back,

it was on the flor between the doors,standing just under

the window where the sun was shining very strongly.

During the time the chocolate slowly melted down and sculpture

almost disappeared.

Mara Teresa Lucas da Costa,video (15'21'')

is a record which started in Spain,ending up in Portugal,

where I met the woman of the title. The film's narrative becomes

her narrative, the film's eye my awareness and induction into

meaning, the meaningfulness of her life and life experience.

The work becomes literary; short stories, poems, theatrical

sketches, or compositions that are nostalgic, heavy with age

and experience, light with absurdity.

The video lacks the ending titles because they have become

unnecessary; having arrived at a more refined level of

expression.
