              Advice on how to gain independence and control in the face of the difficulties implicit in human relationships. We live in a busy world and isolation seems to be the only way to escape the buzz of lists, inspirational catchphrases and reminders to upgrade — now! The peace of ignoring the phone may be bliss, but what about when we get what we ask for, and are forgotten altogether? The author mulls over the bittersweet reality of escaping. A video about wanting to be alone and being lonely — a meditation on the cult of individuality and independence in our anxious urban world. Created in 1998, but now feels even more relevant during these current pandemic times.

              Taken almost verbatim from a newspaper, The Arizona Daily Star, the video recounts the story of Ramona Barrrara, a New Mexico woman who saw the face of Jesus in a tortilla when she was rolling her husband's burrito. In an attempt to manipulate the media to her advantage in publicizing this miraculous event, the media ultimately exploited the most important event of this woman's life for its sensational value. 3 Mostra de Vídeo Independent de Barcelona 1996.
