During the 1970s almost 50,000 people (homosexuals, layabouts, delinquents...) were imprisoned in Spain without the right to a lawyer, without a trial, without committing a crime, thanks to the Ley de Peligrosidad y Rehabilitación Social, a law against the potentially dangerous and for social rehabilitation. A small number of those detained ended up in special prisons. Most of them served their sentences with real criminals in regular prisons, where they were humiliated, bashed and sometimes raped daily by their fellow prisoners. All of this before the indifferent gaze of prison guards, judges and the police. Some homosexuals were even subjected to electric currents. Under psychiatric supervision, of course. The law stopped being applied in the early 80s, but civil society, the police and even those imprisoned see a past conviction as a stigma. Everyone preferred to keep quiet. And so, those terrible deeds disappeared from memory.

In the last moments of a life, human senses blur with those of the surrounding forest. Death is the flowing of human senses out into the world beyond the flesh cage. Death is the final breath joining the endless journey of the night breeze.

Sensible Shoes

Sensible Shoes is a witty collision of fiction and reality, ironically rendered as a multi-textual pastiche of mass media and personal narratives. Adams's fragmented collage is structured on the stream-of-consciousness monologue of an unseen woman, who collapses fantasy and the everyday as she "zaps" the television dial and skims the newspaper. Seamlessly integrating her daydreams of romance with appropriated images of violence, love and consumerism from popular British TV programs and ads, Adams tells the story of how the mass media dictates the construction of personal narratives. Visuals, voiceover and on-screen words are juxtaposed in a tightly edited assemblage of off-air TV imagery, shrewd wordplay and visual puns. The source of the handwritten text that propels the spoken and image-driven narrative is revealed in an ironic twist at the tape's end. 3 Mostra de Vídeo Independent de Barcelona 1996.
