Can Framis, Barcelona
Paying attention to the curatorial lines of the new permanent collection at the Can Framis Museum, we propose a selection of works in which director Anna Cornudella unfolds a strong pictorial character within moving images. The plasticity of painting and of human and more-than-human bodies takes center stage in an imaginary that opens itself to strangeness. These representations become stages where both visual and language poetics intertwine through the music video format, in which the artist engages in dialogue with various musicians from the contemporary Catalan music scene and, more specifically, with the Barcelona-based group b1n0.
AHH! (2022) is a piece born from the close observation of a single flower of the species Hibiscus mutabilis over the course of a week, during its natural process of decay. Recorded with a USB digital microscope, the video reveals an intimate and ephemeral universe living within the flower: tiny microscopic creatures interacting with the petals and pollen, forming a network of affections and interdependencies. The pace slows down in b1 (2019), filmed at the historic “Cine Avenida” in Sidi Ifni (Morocco). This cinema, with its extravagant art deco style, was built in 1936 by Spanish entrepreneurs and witnessed Sidi Ifni’s transition from Spanish colonial rule, becoming a symbol of former colonial splendor. The piece shows a group of Sidi Ifni teenagers dancing and occupying this postcolonial landscape for the first time, coinciding with the reopening of the cinema after being closed for nearly thirty years.
In bum bum (2021), human perception transforms above all when it comes into contact with the deepest emotionality. This piece is a mental escape, a rupture with conventional reality, where grief and intimate experience activate a superposition of times and desires: past, present, and longings coexist and accumulate within the same space. The work questions the nature of time itself: is it a human construct? Is it possible that all times coexist simultaneously? All these questions are amplified in acab (2020) takes shape as a concentrated expression of rage and helplessness, articulated through sounds and images of visceral intensity. It stems from a collective and widespread frustration, particularly among younger generations. The patient and meticulous process of producing the images contrasts sharply with the final result, characterized by a frenetic and overflowing rhythm.
