This week Barcelona is celebrating many events, architecture week brings together and launches presentations such as the winners of the Mies van der Rohe 2017, or the development of the video art festival Loop, in its fifteenth edition.
Among the dozens of interesting proposals we highlight the video Slow Living by Adrià Goula, for the Loop Barcelona Festival in the Gallery Objects de Carme Pinós. It is a short film with 15L films (Adrià Lahuerta and Carlota Coloma) on the Passeig de Sant Joan project in Barcelona by Lola Domenech.

The full version can only be seen in the Objects gallery, for those who are not in Barcelona a sample is the trailer in open, which can be seen below.
 

Statement by Adrià Goula

The space is what organises the image, what gives the guidelines for the camara to be followed. Constructed spaces contain a number of axles and aliniacions arising from the development of the project, leftover traces of the plans drawn by the architect. Filming following these traces in order to be able to unfold the space in a comprehensible way. Place yourself and move as requested by the space that we want to explain. This is not a subjective point of view, but an image that emanates from the object itself which is a consequence of his way of being, his way of showing himself. In front of this architectural background curtain, the complex and unpredictable movement of people.

Synopsis

The video consists of a continuos traveling in slow motion along four blocks of houses showing the new redevelopment of the Passeig de Sant Joan of Barcelona. Shot in wide angle from the sidewalk looking perpendicular to the axis of the street, the image unrolls as a complete whole street elevation. People with slow movements, promotes a photographic sense. Accompanied by a musical abstract composition  it gives an hypnotic feeling that leads to look at the details, from outside that space and time. The everyday street scenes become customary small still lifes, which looked from another time tinged with a melancholy sense of what one day will be lost.
