La loca de la cuidad

Abstract

«la loca de la cuidad» is the name of a well known homeless women in Barcelona. The documentary work tries to give a short introduction in the simple live of the homeless women.

Concept

After opening the photographic documentation the viewer is established by an observer, who discovers the homeless women, but after the discovery, going his normal way. The work uses this tension field of to see (recognise, confront) and to lose the sight. So the homeless women is introduced all the way through the documentation in between this tension poles.
Therefore are the photographs accordig to the homeless woman in the middle of the documentation, so that the viewer has to put the reviewed sides away to see the next one. After revision only the carton of the cardboard box is leaving, opening the work complete, offers the sleeping place of the homeless women, indicated by a silhouette.
The work has seven pages with photographic images, in colour and black / white, one linoleum print and a flipbook. A carton out of a cardboard box covers the whole work, the sides by it self are also made of this material. The documentation is consciously made out of cheap materials, like the photography’s in copied form, the cardboard box from the shop in the neighbourhood and all wrapped in an old big bag from the streets.
