Wide reflection on education, concieved as personal and colective task of long-term duration and chosen evolution. In its installation version is presented in four wooden studios in which we can watch videos on childhood, teenage, adults and old; and several small format paintings and drawings. Instead of moan, this work evokes a concious and demanding existence that, against predictions, in a days like ours, bets for the creation of an imaginary that allows a better reality.
These audiovisual works have been produced trying to promote an audiovisual
literacy. The book La intención [The intention] compiles theorical,
artistic and didactic materials developed in the last four years of work
on the project, and includes a DVD edition of the film. Offers to teachers
a guide for a deeper analysis of it, in order to select the thematic axis
about education, audiovisual literacy, aesthetic experience, tales,
cultures, politics, bodies and biography.
