Inaudita It is a shared project of María Morata and Javier Peñafiel at the Espai sant Marc´s art residency, in Sineu. The work of María and Javier was supported technically by Adolf Alcañiz. María Morata and Javier Peñafiel met in Berlin in 2006, both where working on the PLAY Platform for Film & Video. Morata as curator and Peñafiel as artist  respectively, they have had a critical conversation about the professional situation and how the context of their jobs was carried out. For a long time they wanted to meet to work toguether in a project around the conversation. In the sense of listening, to the other and establishing listening policies. The island lends itself as a laboratory where to edit walking and conversation, which is the methodology chosen Inaudita. They were been travel arround several times and to several destinations. Throughout the days staying at Sineu, finally one video is edited. From the convent of the minimums in Sineu to the private public district of Biniagual. Passing through the necropolis of Son Real. The Inaudita project doesn’t reproduce the conversations but rather dramatizes the writing and the voice through the echoes of the conversation, drawing, writing and reading through the residence.

Desierto en tu mente es el primer largometraje dirigido, escrito y producido por Marta Grimalt Canals. Esta road movie surrealista está filmada en super 8 bn alrededor de California, Barcelona y Mallorca.

A través de sus frustraciones, un novelista obsesionado conecta con una dimensión en la que una chica caminante se topa con pintorescos personajes en un misterioso mundo urbano, conduciendo poco a poco hacia la naturaleza pacífica del desierto. En este viaje entre luces y sombras, prevalecerá la esperanza para encontrar una paz mental interior.

La película está caracterizada por un lenguaje experimental, con expresas imperfecciones técnicas y de actuación, envuelto en un efecto orgánico de fantasía.

Marcos Vidal Font & 林慧潔，《等待⋯ 絕望⋯》，2017，高清錄像，立體聲，彩色，2:09. Marcos Vidal Font & Wai Kit Lam, “Waiting… Despairing…”, 2017, HD video, stereo, colour, 2:09. 

This video is about how to become more calm, more relax, to find the inside peace. The art world's goals and daily life take our mind out of itself from what is really important from the essence of things. Market and competition are exactly the opposite that the artist needs to create and to grow. The character tries to get close to nature, to the sea. He tries to rediscover the lost calm.

Este video describe un intento de calmarse y de relajarse, para encontrar la paz interior. Los objetivos del mundo del arte y de la vida diaria alejan a nuestra mente de lo realmente importante, de la esencia de las cosas. El mercado y la competencia son exactamente lo opuesto a lo que el artista necesita para crear y crecer. El personaje trata de acercarse a la naturaleza, al mar. Trata de reencontrar la calma perdida.

"We met at a fire place, in a lost farm two years ago, it was a happy encounter. And this time at Happy Valley our gathering would also be a meeting point of happiness and collaboration. In this area there are some spots to renovate, there are always some spots to remove and renovate. Remove, renovate, clean, build up. Come on this is Hong Kong, it’s a growing city following a golden goal.

Since I was a child I loved to find objects, to play and to mix with, turned them into new things. Cut and paste, I gave them life to jump around. But how come video and photo could cut and paste better than my hands, that’s the point. Owing to this, in this artist-in-residence project, Wai Kit Lam and I started the collaboration flow in both ways, we also tried to find any new possibility. This was not only limited in teamwork, it was also a new challenge for Wai Kit, she must confront some objects in her close reality, and found a personal way to film, to shoot and to fit those in her personal universe.

Residence influence, casual encounters, or maybe not. Our personal belongings messing up. We just find some treasures at the happy valley. A visual reward in a common yard.”

「我們的快活偶遇始於兩兩年年前的⼀一個破舊農莊內的火爐旁。⽽而今次在「快活⾕谷」的相逢，更更是⼀一個聚合喜樂樂樂樂與 ⼯工作的交會點。在這裡，有很多地點正在翻新，⽽而且到處總有著被拆掉及翻新的場地。拆掉、翻新、整理理、重 建等，看來來已是香港的常態。這是⼀一個永不⽌止息的城市，總是循著它的⽬目標進發。 ⽽而當我還是孩提的時候，我已非常喜歡到處尋找各式各樣的物件；我把玩、拆掉、剪貼及重構它們，重新建構 它們成為新物件，不斷地給予它們新⽣生命。但在錄像和攝影⽅方⾯面⼜又給何？它們的拼貼效果可會比我的⼿手作更更為 適合？正因如此，在是次藝術家駐留留計劃中，我與林林慧潔分別在兩兩種不同的媒介著⼿手創作，並嘗試找出新的可 能性。這不⽌止於合作的規範，這亦是對慧潔創作的⼀一種挑戰；因為，當慧潔接收⾝身近環境的同時，她需尋找她 的個⼈人⽅方式來來拍攝，以能表述她對這世界的獨有觀念念。 以此，在藝術家駐留留計劃及偶遇的作⽤用下，我們把所各種思維創意混和及結合；使之成為我們共同在快活⾕谷的 視覺回報及珍貴成果。」－Marcos Vidal Font，香港快活⾕谷，2017年年1⽉月
