Texas sunrise (Lluís Escartín, 2002) presents a montage of images with changing rhythms, structured around the passionate words of an invisible man: Johnson Frisco, a left-wing deist anarchist. A ghost of the roads and cargo trains, inspired by the indigenous people's devout attitude towards the land and their respectful management of natural resources. Frisco denounces greed, property, money and the fearful conformism of the American people who possess nothing more than the illusion of freedom.

Lluís Escartín is a photographer and filmmaker. After working for Jonas Mekas by chance, he has devoted himself to travelling with his camera through deserts, jungles and other desolate places, positioning himself as an observer of the world, restless and curious to discover, always with poetic commitment. His work is a composition without score that breaks away from the formalisms of local video creation.

Happening → Together we will make a list of nice things that can be done for free in the Usera neighbourhood and that are worth spending more time on. We will create a handwritten document that can be saved in marcablanca. Finally, we will decide which one we want to start with and do it as a farewell <3
