I can see the emotion for art in your eyes as you talk to the subjects of your film. It’s a palpable and contagious wonderment. Can you speak to keeping that magic alive through learning more about various forms of art, about people, the world?
Art speaks across cultures, a vehicle for empathy, in a sense. Could that be the essence of its evolution, to understand these quite personal, and at the same time totally collective, narratives? In the case of graffiti art, both Suso33 and Mena agree in pointing out the individuality of this art form, but when done in a public forum like an exposed wall, it immediately becomes a collective experience. And that experience can be one of appreciation, or of rejection, of course.Your film documents historical art that’s been dutifully preserved, comparing it to street art, essentially destined to evolve, disappear and reappear.
