“Las heridas de mi casa” by Claudia Estrada and “Agua y más agua” by Francesca Svampa
Activity open to all and free of charge with a limited capacity of 55 people
How do we live with our own memories? Claudia Estrada Tarascó and Francesca María Svampa dialogue through images with their own experiences, personal memories and their own evolutions.
Claudia Estrada Tarascó does it with "Las heridas de mi casa", a short documentary film, made with stop motion animation under camera, which was born as a great need of the author to say goodbye to the past while she says goodbye to the house where she lived for seventeen years.
The piece "Agua y más agua", by Francesca María Svampa, also revolves around memory. The film creates a collage of personal micro-remembrances, and at the same time common to many young people in Barcelona at the end of 2000. Just before the crisis and many changes, such as the closure of several emblematic places in the city and the increase in rents.
On a more concrete level, film is also a medium for fixing memory, or not fixing it if the process fails (and everything goes black). The medium becomes a metaphor for human, personal and collective memory, which is fragile, precarious. It is necessary to take care of it in order not to lose it.
