It is not surprising to find that Zona Franca, the former commercial area of traditional industry, and 22@, the area recently zoned for logistic and technological capitalism, are part of a huge real estate operation publicised under the umbrella of Barcelona's post-industrial urban renewal. So, what economic and symbolic benefits do they generate, and for whom? What advantages do companies and institutions gain from this symbiosis? And what about the workers?

This video is part of the project El Paraíso es de los extraños and proposes a non-linear journey, rehearsing a type of polycentric, rhizomatic narrative, with the intention of proposing a critical and ironic reading of the topics of orientalist exoticism fiction, through of the apparently chaotic scheme of the arabesque, a decorative formula that is not alien to the spider web or the labyrinth. Not the invisible, transparent, open-air labyrinth that pride and ignorance build.

Plan Rosebud 1 is focused on the recent social debate around the so-called Historic Memory Act in Spain, and the current relation between the sites of memory and the politics of memory, and the cultural industries, studied in detail, in our case, trough the war tourism and commemorative tourism (that forms the main part of the four scenarios that this first film contains).

"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.
