BLANDNESS - Video (Barcelona 2023)

The video shows a white, creamy and hot porridge, stirred slowly and repeatedly by an affectionate hand, which, like a domestic scene, suspends and amplifies time. The simplicity of this non-acting action opens a space for recollection, extensive and without demands, to highlight the lack of these places in the community.
