Horizon #2 1:31, Color, Stereo, ES, 2009

Made in the city of Barcelona, Horizon is a video work that tries to summarize this unique city by the textures of its streets, walls, and buildings as seen by the person who lives among them. The compiled textures are then juxtaposed, through association, with abstract sounds (field recordings, synthetic, sampled, spoken) to a give a voice to these overlooked crevices of the city.
