The civic behaviour bylaws recently passed by Barcelona City Council and applied to other Catalan municipalities bear a striking resemblance to Fraga's 1965 “Keep Spain Clean” campaign.

UntitledIA 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.
Urban space in the city of Barcelona is strongly influenced by the phenomenon of tourism. Four people talk about their impressions through their experience of systematised tourism in the city and the daily life of the people who live in it. “Abandoned City” is a 26 minute documentary that that takes its title from the phrase of one of its characters, who talks about the irony of an overcrowded city affected by abandonment. A local representation of a global phenomenon. This documentary is the result of the group work of the first year of the master of visual anthropology UB-Tanios films.
