The words of Lupe Gómez dialogue with the images of a contemporary Galicia filmed by Acacia Ojea.

he aquí un cuerpo que cae
SAM FUENTES & RICHARD MASCHERIN (2021)
original soundtrack, sound recording & sound design
Taking actions that lead to your body losing control, impulsively, the gravity or effort of the body. The body explores the relationship between an emotional and physical fall, between pleasure and pain. The inevitability of falling and the impossibility of progressing drive this audiovisual piece that aims to embed itself in a universe where failure places itself in the foreground and shows its vulnerability. How can falling be reflected in this medium? Concerning the body that falls, inspired by and based on the conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader and the actor, scriptwriter and director Buster Keaton, Mascherin explores these lines of investigation, focusing on the existentialism in these works, and the common ground between tragedy and humour: overcoming laughing and pain, with the perspective that everything continuously turns and falls, drawing parallels with daily life.

new era (1.996)
ana esteve reig (2020)
original soundtrack
NEW ERA (1.996) consists of an audiovisual project that reflects upon the laws, rights, and freedom within the internet, based on the Manifesto on the Independence of Cyberspace by John Perry Barlow, published in 1996.
The relevance of the virtual world and cyberspace in this technological age, emphasizes the existence of a parallel reality. “New Era (1.996)” ponders on the impact of the internet in our daily lives, as well as how we are using it and composing its use. I would like to recall John Perry Barlow’s statement made twenty-three years ago to emphasize that the same issues are relevant today: the importance of the exchange in a place of freedom that can be inhabited and shared by all outside the political systems and economic that exists in the real world . J. Perry was ahead of his time in anticipating the magnitude and the potential the internet would behold. The statement evidently has social and political connotations about the value of freedom, respect and the exchange of information that should take part within the network, as well as alerting the potential censorship and data control.
