Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada - IDENTIDAD(maría) / IDENTITY(maría)


Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada transforms common people into icons by rendering them in charcoal as urban murals. He delves not only in the identity of the neighborhood where he realizes his work but also in his own identity.
By questioning the controls imposed on public space, the role models that represents us in the public space and the type of events that are guarded by the collective memory he breaks preconceptions of where art is permitted, when art is needed and to whom it is directed.
Documentary created by Ana Alvarez-Errecalde and FILMCHICK PRODUCTIONS.

Film Of The Week: "Waking Life": Directed by, Richard Linkletter

"Waking Life" highlight segment entitled, "The Holy Moment":

If you've not seen this film, allow this to be an inspired invitation to sit back an enojoy a modern film classic with loads of content and visual layers: A boy has a dream that he can float, but unless he holds on, he will drift away into the sky. Even when he is grown up, this idea recurs. After a strange accident, he walks through what may be a dream, flowing in and out of scenarios and encountering various characters. People he meets discuss science, philosophy and the life of dreaming and waking, and the protagonist gradually becomes alarmed that he cannot awake from this confusing dream.
Waking Life is an amazing movie, by Richard Linkletter! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience!

The Lorax: An illustrated reminder from Dr. Seuss


The Lorax is a children's book, written by Dr. Seuss and first published in 1971. It chronicles the plight of the environment and the Lorax (a mossy, bossy man-like creature), who speaks for the trees against the greedy Once-ler. As in most of Dr. Seuss works, most of the creatures mentioned are original to the book.

The book is commonly recognized as a fable concerning industrialized society, using the literary element of personification to give life to industry as the Once-ler (whose face is never shown in all of the story's illustrations or in the film version) and to the environment as the Lorax. It has become a popular metaphor for those concerned about the human impact on the environment.

LUDO: Nature's Revenge

WS Ludo
Ludo- Nature Revenge
Ludo- Nature Revenge
Ludo - Nature Revenge
The Boombapaver
FATCAP: Where do you come from? Tell us about your beginnings…
I grew up in the suburbs of Paris and then came to Paris at 18 to go to college. Having trouble just listening to a professor without doing anything, I wanted a change of air and went to Italy with just a backpack. Then, after seeing what I wanted, I decided that I belonged to an “art” school…
I started street art later with the simple desire to express something personal without any pretense.

FC: How would you define your style and your way of working?
I don’t know if I have a style, I try to make myself happy first and I do things only if I want to.
I love mixing different techniques, such as acrylic, silk-screening, cutting and even photocopy.
Also, I’m not good with a bomb, so I try to use it the least possible ;-)

FC: What are your sources of inspiration?
Everywhere, what’s around me, what I see…

See the rest of the newest interview with LUDO here.
Much more LUDO HERE.
