Project Description
The clip was created during my participation in the Fachada Media Academy of Etopia Zaragoza in 2023. A very interesting experience with colleagues from different places and different styles. Each clip from each participant was displayed for a month on the LED façade of Etopia
CONCEPT
JSP is a tribute to a friend who died on March 8, 2023, who, being an extremely vindictive person, has his “that one.” Joao Paulo Barrosa was a versatile Portuguese intellectual with an intense artistic activity that, in addition to practicing medicine professionally, covered different fields such as painting, music, theater, writing, etc. The piece is led by a poem of his own. which talks about the arrival of death and with which his death was made public. JSP is a piece that reflects on death and how certain addictions can cause it or at least accelerate its arrival. The piece evokes the award-winning short film “Ryan” by director Chris Landreth. The film won an Oscar in 2004 and is based on an interview with Canadian animator Ryan Larkin in which the character, someone with a number of addictions, is shown completely exhausted and non-stop smoking. Smoking, an addiction shared with the person honored here. The story finally leads us to something inexorable and that, in any case, is always closer, the end of life.
