IT'S TIME TO RECLAIM THE ECONOMY The economic crash of 2008 revealed not only the frailty and vulnerability of the economic system, it also showed the false basis that the growth economy is built on – the financial bubble grows bigger and crashes bigger, but we don't seem to be getting any happier. To the contrary, we suffer from greater job insecurity and environmental chaos threatens. The prescription from the mainstream economists is more growth – but is this just taking more of what ails us? Has growth become uneconomic? Is there another way? This film is part of an ongoing project to document the rise of a new movement – calling not for more economic growth, but LESS. The degrowth movement, or "mouvement por le decroissance", argues that through a voluntary reduction of the economy we can work less, consume less and live better, fuller lives. Many have been pointing out that our current economic system is leading us to an environmental and social catastrophe. "Life After Growth" begins to point to the people and communities who are looking for ways out. These are the pioneers who are rethinking the role of economics in our lives, and are engaging in different types of economic activity, right now. The D word is still taboo in many circles – politicians are loath to go against the growth orthodoxy that our society is based on. But everywhere people are engaging in degrowth type activity - the beginning of a wave that is laying the groundwork for a post-capitalist future... Because it's not the size of the economy that counts, it's how you use it!

The Aphrodisia were considered the works of Aphrodite in ancient Greece, were all that offered pleasure to the senses. The intention of this audiovisual is to show some of the taboos where sexuality hides in the catalan context. Through three speeches, whose common objective is to defend sexuality, it approaches sex work and the works of the aphrodite that we live in everyday. The experience that three people can transmit from the Genera Association, erotic Massage and Sexual Assistance. This video is part of the Educational Agreement of collaboration between theOVNI Archives and the Department of Anthropology of the University of Barcelona -  UAB , for the curricular external practices of the students, of the academic year 2017-2018.

The animals of Stella. While out exploring in the winter months, an almost prodigious chance encounter bring me to the shores of the lake ‘des Eaux-Chaudes’ (Alps of Haute Provence, France), the place that will become a creation laboratory of the video installation Les animaux de Stella/The animals of Stella. The human voice frees itself from the coded language and interacts with other sounds becoming part of the place, which in turn is internalized by the child. Thus a reciprocal dialogue is established, a spontaneous communication that brings out an intimate bond of affection. An equal relationship is progressively fostered between the girl and the environment that welcomes her, in an attempt to renew the ancient relationships between human and non-human.

“I will show two videos: “Trobriand Cricket”, and “Les Maîtres Fous” to talk about what I will call “mimetic excess”. By this I mean a joy or "jouisance" in mimesis itself (Nietzsche talks about this in his description of Dionysus). An “excess” produced at the moment of de-Colonisation in the 1950s-1960s, with the encounter between the Indigenous and the European worlds; the first with its mimetic body, and the European world with its mimetic-machine (the camera). A question for us: Now, in 2006, what do we do with this "excess?"
