Antihéroe from Christelle Faucoulanche

This video was shot in the Tabernas Desert in Spain, where movie sets were built during the late 60’s for Spaghetti Westerns like the ones of Sergio Leone. I was interested in how these movie sets bring about the idea of shifting time and space, by reconstructing the United States' history in the context of Europe. Most of the sets are abandoned today, destroyed by weather and appear like entire cities in ruin. According to Michel Foucault’s concept of Heterotopia and Heterochrony, these places appear like localizations of utopia and a nonsense land. Behind the movie sets, such notions as the construction of cinematographic genre, gender and history are turned into the civilization's deconstruction.

Castilla-La-Mancha and Castilla-y-Léon

Taken in the central highlands of Spain, the autonomous regions Castilla-La-Mancha and Castilla-y-Léon. A region full of history and culture: The Goths, Romans and Moors have left their marks here. Don Quijote has fighted against the windmills here. This was the place of residence of El Greco, Diego de Velazquez and Francisco de Goya.

Casteller from Mike Randolph

In the city of Tarragona, Spain, castellers gather every two years to see who can build the highest, most intricate human castles. This Catalan tradition requires astonishing strength, finesse, and balance. Not to mention courage.
