Pare de Sufrir, cease suffering, is the name of a church very near to the house where I lived in Guadalajara (Mexico). This video is about madness, faith, consumer culture, advertising, design, identity... The images are photographs that I took during long walks through the city, and they focus on Mexican advertising and graphic design, which shows a great sense of humor. I'm fascinated by the functionality of the graphic design there, which doesn't focus so much on creating an image or on competition - something which I greatly appreciated, specially after living in a city like Barcelona. The audio is based on interviews with psychiatric patients in Central America, which I found in a publications and asked 5 girls that I met in the city to read out. For me there is no difference between text and image, both of them surround us every day, and I don't think an image is worth more than a thousand words. I don't consider it my task to create, but to recreate myself within the things I experience, to make them my own. Every image and every text has its place in the story of each video, and the fact that the images do not correspond to the audio, and that they are mixed with written text, creates free associations and adds new subjective meanings to the stories.

"Paralysis - on the state of terror" is a documentary about our archival and records systems, and the role of images in constructing our past. The mental images of individual memory, the personal and subjective filing system of unique historical experiences that, when told, become eye-witness accounts, and archival material as a device/interface that configures an objective past, biding its time in image libraries all over the planet. A journey through subjective and objective history, guided by four characters: The Witness, a survivor of a nazi concentration camp; The Researcher, tracking and analyzing traces of the past; The Archival Material, source and extension of historical memory; and The Narrator, creating and directing a discourse where history impregnates the present and is revised.

The 36th parallel is an imaginary line on a map and also the real site of clandestine emigration across the Gibraltar Strait.

A glimpse into the life of Barcelona's Pakistanis. They talk to us about their work, the journey that brought them to Barcelona and their families, among other things. We visit some of the places where they tend to congregate: the Rambla del Raval, telephone centers, Barceloneta beach and the three Chimneys.
