Over four years Nuria Canal recorded five of her friends capturing moments of their lives through their conversations. The five women don't speak to the camera, they don't know when they are being recorded - the camera is only a witness. There is no stage or interpretation, only the desire to share life, the art of story telling that gives substance to intimacy.

This video is part of the women's efforts to make their work known and look for ways and means to sell their products.

In the depths of aquatic worlds there is an amniotic fluid that connects us, immersing us in that place where gills are evident through bubbles, plankton and algae. Fluid, lactating worlds where the horizon is hazy and undulating. Where up or down is anywhere and everywhere at the same time.
UntitledMade over six years in the hotels of six different countries, Hotel Diaries is a series of video recordings which relate personal experiences to the current conflicts in the Middle East. In these works, which play upon chance and co-incidence, the hotel room is employed as a 'found' film set, where the architecture, furnishing and decoration become the means by which the filmmaker's small adventures are linked to major world events. Works in the series include Frozen War (Ireland, 2001), Museum Piece (Germany, 2004), Throwing Stones (Switzerland, 2004), B & B (England, 2005), Pyramids/Skunk (The Netherlands 2006/7), Dirty Pictures (Palestine 2007) and Six Years Later (Ireland 2007).
