Demasiado polvo - 2006

The video was created for a group exhibition, which took place in June 2006 at Puerto Sagunto, a
little village in the province of Valencia in Spain. The exhibition is part of a series of multi-
disciplinary meetings and events which have been taking place for years now, as a form of protest
against the destruction of the “The Gerencia garden city”, a place built by powerful industrialists
around the twenties at Puerto Sagunto. The Gerencia, as it is famously known, is a small city
surrounded by high walls, situated in Sagunto. Through filming, direction and editing and clothing
of the protagonist, I have created in the video, a fairytale and paradoxical atmosphere, to
accompany the viewer between the soft lights of the dusty house.In the video, a woman (me) walks
into a house, walking among wallpaper torn, ruined walls, old newspapers and abandoned objects,
dusting and cleaning the furniture with a spray, small pieces of broken glass sticking to the
windows .The video is accompanied by “(In My) Solitude”, song of 1934, written by Duke Ellington,
Eddie de Lange e Irving Mills, in a version by Billie Holiday. I chose this sound piece because I
wanted a song which dates back to the period in which the Gerencia villas were inhabited.
