DROPBOX ( COMMUNICATION )

At a time when most creative partnerships happen online, Dropbox and The California Sunday Magazine have launched the Dropbox Stories campaign. Twenty-five creatives from all over the world (musicians, designers, photographers, directors, and others) have worked together to create three artworks that explore the limits of creativity and delve into the three most important elements in all creative processes: collaboration, community and communication. The piece directed by Albert Moya is entitled Communication. Querida was responsible for the art direction.
Artist Laila Gohar created a food volcano that caught Albert Moya’s attention a few years ago. This was the real starting point for Communication, a piece that explains how four creatives with diverse aesthetics, located in different countries tried to build an actual food volcano in Iceland using Dropbox and Paper as their tools for communication, exchanging ideas and swapping all kinds of files. Communication stars the director in Florence, Querida in Barcelona and Laila Gohar and Omar Sosa (a graphic designer) in New York.
The result is a ‘moving collage’ of found footage, screen captures and smartphone images. This volcano was born out of a visual dialogue between the four artists. As in the iconic work of Chris Marker, it uses the free association of images and ideas. A voice-over accompanies explanatory text that reinforces the poetic and visual intentions. This warm voice has a synthetic touch, like the volcano in construction, made of organic material, yet artificial.
The film is like a palimpsest created using different layers of meaning and references in which the final layered image is also a geographical feature. A visual eruption built using a variety of semantic visual fields in which the image erupts like a fault in the earth’s crust, unifying time and space.

PANORAMA - WEBSITE

Panorama is born with a concrete approach: to create and beef up a global conscience about the distinct challenges we all have in relation with the territory and landscape. The website lumps together different artistic projects to try to reach, on its easiest and understandable way, this reflection to a broad set of the society.

MACBA ( THE HERMETIC BELL )

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA) contacted us to create the graphic image of "The Hermetic Bell", an installation that the artist Francesc Torres had created exclusively for the museum, which was formed from his personal archive of objects donated to the museum. Torres is a plastic artist, curator and essayist.
This artistic installation is a sort of nostalgic entomology, "sediments of memory"formed by numerous objects that the artist has been collecting since childhood. Objects that act as silent testimonies of both recent history and personal history. An anthropological archive in which we find everything from toys to souvenirs, or the remains of military conflicts.

As the artist said, "this has all fallen down to fill several attics and this museum space." In this sense, the visual identity of the exhibition works as a reverberation of this "falling" of objects that "fill attics" and exhibition spaces, forming layers of experiences and memories. The carefully chosen pieces create a visual impact that functions as an orderly accumulation wherein the artist's intimate memory contaminates the graphic image.

A Barcelona taxi's door as a central element and spatial reference point welcoming us both graphically and in terms of the exhibition. Masks of a bygone age and faraway places. Bombs, guns, bullets, and traces of ancient conflicts that the artist did not experience. Toy cars, irreverent souvenirs, family photographs, graphic documents, prehistoric tools that shape a constellation of objects reminiscent of the Wunderkammern or Cabinet of Wonders. A window to memory through objects.
