‘Moments that Shaped the World’ is a series of videos where the juxtaposition of image and sound plays with our perception and opens up interpretations. Composed by the artist with material sourced online, it is a form of a visual diary inspired by his first-hand experiences in various socio-political contexts.
The video features footage from a famous music festival in Barcelona and the audio of manifestations and street protests of Spain’s M-15 movement. The video suggests an inevitable frustration towards political demonstrations which are often reduced to mere spectacle.
