Tempesta a Les Fonts d'una memòria
Synopsis
While staying in the town where my mother was born, I filmed my first storm at Les Fonts. It was as if the lightning released the ghosts of my origins from the dark night of forgotten memories.
Artist Profile
Rrose Present
Rrose Present was born in Barcelona where she graduated in Fine Arts for the University of Barcelona. Beca Séneca audio-visual UPV. She also holds a Masters degree in Philosophy of Contemporary Art from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and Fundació Miró. Rrose combines experimental video, curated and a reflection theoretical about the image .She works the images from a double sense / meaning of the reality: the PRESENTIAL (camera in hand) using the body as a tripod for her emotions, and the RE-PRESENTATION with the NET Found Footage to digest the images of the GLOBAL ARCHIVE with the series "video 'without-camera"' reinterprets 'camera-world'. From very conceptual beginnings her work leaves the literalness of the images to penetrate into the medial and formal experimentation, with the conscious and unconscious paths that these open. In the present he brings his research on image and sound closer to positions in the language of experimental cinema.

Director's Statement
As the only entertainment I contemplated the trees outside the front door. One night I experienced the spectacle of nature in a storm that was like fireworks. So I filmed my first storm in Les Fonts with every device i had on hand: mobile, desktop and a cheap camera. With these, i made an assembly with textures using images and sounds to create a visual and auditory rhythm. It was as if the lightening allowed me to draw from the dark night of oblivion the ghosts of the memory of my origins. Or, as if the snapshots were deconstructed when they returned to the present and they lost all the clarity of their origins.
In this series I work with democratic information devices. I transform the noise of all types of devices into a subjective poetic gaze which contrasts with the objective eye of the informational language. I was recently stuck in the village where my mother was born, without wi-fi or television.
