IA is an exercise that explores the format of the interview – as testimony or as a document – and the values associated with it: transparency/manipulation, neutrality/ideology and subjectivity/objectivity. When the procedure is laid bare, the substance is transformed. It could also be described as a series of visions from a city undergoing a reverse metamorphosis, an encapsulation, we could say: Barcelona 1992. A series of interviews edited with the camera in 1992 and 1994, and subsequently compiled onto two DVDs. Through the manipulation of the ritual, the interview becomes a space in which processes of the construction of meaning are challenged. Meta-interviews, self-interviews, interviews with the medium, views.

José, Victoria and Miquel are three of the people who have lived on the streets, or are very close to doing so. Antibiografies is a documentary about the lives of Barcelona’s homeless people, a hidden world that is less visible but no less real or alive than any other. The protagonists talk about how they survive, their relationships, and the occupation of public space. A vision of tod ay’s society from a marginal, frontier perspective.
