During my stay I have made walks and bicycle tours that lasted for half an hour, the free time granted to the user of the so-called Valen-bisi, a system that allows you to pick up a bike on one side of the city and bring it back on the other side of the city. Maps, found objects and (video)images, often shot with a simple telephone, reflect my trips. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Burning\" width=\"1778\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yrfJlfvetGE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A\u00d1ORANZA (longing, being homesick)<\/strong> <br> A large part of my material was shot during the so called Fallas in Valencia. This is a festival lasting for five days. On every street corner sculptures arise of a cartoon-like quality, reflecting the history and stories of specific areas, barrios, of Valencia.<br> I show a few of my pictures as a large blow-up, made into wall filling paper. These are static images of the so called Ninots when they have just been unloaded from a truck and are still wrapped in plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> For me they are something like a seed, they represent the wrapped possibility. Like children&#8217;s sweets they are wrapped. Static, frozen in time. A ninot is often the result of hard work of many people, they work on it for a year, and it\u2019s stuffed with firework and firecrackers. These days a ninot is made of polystyrene, so if you burn it, it stinks like hell. In five days time the ninots are unwrapped, exhibited, exposed to views and com- mentaries, they win prices or are neglected. One of them is chosen as a lasting piece in the so-called Fallas Museum. Then all the others are all burned after the so called Nit the Foc (night of the fire). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman renting me a room in Valencia is the daughter of a famous Fallas builder. She was fired from her job on the day I first stayed with her. She told me that her con- stant connection with the Fallas maybe made her adept very fast to changes. She never thinks about anything as permanent and it can be gone in one day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a contrast with the static images I show a video projection of burning fallas, shown on banners in a spatial setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/filmwoordbeeld.esterevadamen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/190506-7-Schets-New-Dacota-kopie-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/190506-7-Schets-New-Dacota-kopie-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/190506-7-Schets-New-Dacota-kopie-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/190506-7-Schets-New-Dacota-kopie-768x1087.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read more about the Artistic Research presentation in gallery New Dakota, Amsterdam I\u2019ve left the city of Amsterdam in February 2019 to do an exchange&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":593,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/590"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=590"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2687,"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/590\/revisions\/2687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esterevadamen.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
