Time Theft the Film project for BCNProducció/10 at La Capella Barcelona 2010

Time Theft Agent E2262 // Selected at BCNProduccio/10 La Capella Barcelona
"To haunt does not mean to be present, and it is necessary to introduce haunting into the very construction of a concept. Of every concept, beginning with the concepts of being and time. That is what we would be calling here a hauntology. Ontology opposes it only in a movement of exorcism. Ontology is a conjuration" Jacques Derrida,Specters of Marx: The State of the Debt, the Work of Mourning & the New International, pg.202

Time Theft was a expanded piece presented as an installation, a publication, an unfinished novel, a silent film, a soundtrack on a tape and a live performance that activated its parts on to a moment that was supposed to be a reminder of the cultural events on anarchist/communist as they re-possessed catholic churches during the revolts around the civil war in Barcelona.

The aim of the expanded work was to expose the various ways and media used for the construction of narratives to produce a kind of "History" for the means of manipulation and mass control as in J.Goebbels and Nazi Germany.


Roland Barthes's definition of the Third Meaning is intended to be a sensorial key.

The Film is composed on its entirety by film stills and the idea of structuring by a series of lists and visual dialectics borrowed from the Surrealist(as in recounted by Walter Benjamin)is used as basic guidelines for montage .
The artist if is considered one, as historian. The subject as double agent, and the work of art as production of counter historicist narratives. Specific to the lack of memory and the hidden truths of the horrors by fascist Francoist in Spain from the civil war onwards.

The archive inside a film that accumulates a ghostly past and re-places /re-makes constantly its own present time as in a call for spirits on a seance session. 

The artist (if considered this to be) as anti-artist, as an spy or as the eye from The Man with a Movie Camera, by Dziga Vertov.

The artist (the subject that replaces it) as a self erased and disappeared author, as narrator of its own research, detective journal.

The installation made around a film screening and the display of elements inside the space as a political stage to question how the politics of the theatrical and of the distribution of elements on a space can let us know what is still not said.

In this case using the ex-Church's architecture of La Capella as it was used for real by Anarchist/Communist during the Civil War, thus generating the feeling of an historical reenactment exercise in order of recovering memory lost.
The film reveals Barcelona's dark heart and a memory of its Civil War that is still to be revealed.

Ruins and mixing far past and immediate past reflecting on how History repeats itself and -re-appears, mediated via detritus left in photographic matter. 

Containing images taken by  the researcher artist medium, during a series of drifting derives around the Raval's area. Plus many more taken from youtube film, found on the net abyss. 

Delivered like a stream of consciousness by the film in it self, the film becoming a living entity, a neutral apparatus containing all sort of images, detritus, ruins and ghost.

I consider the film Time Theft, the starting point of a phase in my practice that orientates its self towards the Essay Film 1)








              
1)I am adding here the text about such complex definition by London curator and writer Kieron Corless(London, August 2013)
Introduction
The slippery term ‘essay film’ was first coined by the filmmaker Hans Richter in the 1940s, but it wasn’t until 1958 that one essay film in particular, Chris Marker’s Letter to Siberia (not available for this season), was designated and theorised as such by the French critic André Bazin. As the form developed and exploded through the political ferment of the 1960s and onwards, in the hands of such major figures as Marker himself, Jean-Luc Godard, Harun Farocki, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Agnès Varda, Fernando Solanas, Patricio Guzmán, Chantal Akerman and Straub-Huillet to name but a few, the question of what constituted an essay film became more pressing.
At first glance, it could be mistaken for a species of documentary; a personal cinema of ideas that foregrounds the director’s subjectivity through first-person narration, pursuing a certain argument or set of associations. That’s a workable definition, but to what extent is that speaking ‘I’ a performance, and therefore a distancing, fictionalising device not to be taken at face value? And how to account for those films that eschew voiceover, but still manage to convey a distinctively personal take on the world, such as Dziga Vertov’s Man With a Movie Camera?
Nowadays most commentators agree that the essay film is neither documentary nor fiction but sits somewhere on its own, evincing characteristics of both through its staging of an encounter between a self, filmed images and the world. Could we label it a genre? Probably not, since an essay film often seeks to unfix or disrupt categories, and is actively inimical to them. Think too of the sheer variety of this notoriously hybrid form – notebooks, sketches, diaries, letters, found footage, all grist to its mill.
No wonder elusiveness and instability seem part of its DNA, as the essay film twists into tantalising new shapes, invents itself in the process of its own becoming, wrestles with the apprehension of its inevitable limitations. In other words – cinema at its most risk-taking, engaged and liberated, operating right on the medium’s nerve ends; probing, questioning, subverting, laying bare its own thought-processes. Hardly surprising, as this season attests, that so many of the world’s greatest directors have been unable to resist its lure.

Back in Time, Time Theft seen four years later : Time Theft was a project for BCNProducció/10






Time Theft BCNproduccio/10

The notion of stolen time, various makings of narrative via montage in cinema, accumulation of "visual data" and making lists.
Film as the apparatus to deliver time based, re-constructed, re-narrated "visual contents" that become what R.Barthes calls The Third Meaning.

The film uses Barcelona's dark heart and memory in ruins, mixing far past and immediate past based on W.Benjamin notions about the Angel of History and of the use of juxtaposed contents.

Edited highlighting structures of montage and a propagandistic narrative used for brain wash, political propaganda and the altering of perception techniques, repetition and the subliminal induced ..

Time Theft was presented in a multidimensional way, as an installation, a publication, a fragment of a novel, a silent film, a soundtrack on a tape and a live performance.

At the chore of the work was a questioning of the construction of narratives to produce a sort of History for the means of manipulation and control.

Based in the real repressive tactics to manipulated data and facts and edit those out and specially erasing all sort of images, accounts, existences including the peoples that are still buried in unknown graves, victims of the fascist Franco regime. 

The piece it self was inspired on an archivist procedure and its method of compiling data and the practice of constructing Lists (as in W. Benjamin)

The Screening of the Film was set up in an Installation like a set or environment recreating the context of the interior of a empty church as if a political party, was making a Film Screening on a Church (with all implications and references related to Barcelona's Civil War events) with heaps of newspapers and a deconstructed barricade made of found discarded elements of the main space.

The red paint, meaning (in a decorative concession to the naturalist display) a certain metaphor of blood shed and the Catalan blood of the four bars of her flag.

Esther Planas performing the role of Agent E 2162 as a double agent provocateur, during a revolution and civil war, reminding us of Breton's Nadja who questions us: Who am I??, activating lost memories and situations of control, power and punishment.

The film containing images taken by her during a whole "derive" around the Raval area, plus many just taken from youtube finds on net derives. 

Delivered as if on a stream of conscience by the film it self, as a neutral apparatus containing all sort of simultaneous images as a detritus of constant capitalist events, its ruins and ghost.

Fragment of a short Novel published for the first time during my show with BCNProducció/10, Sept/Nov 2010 Time Theft Agent 2162







Perhaps my life is nothing else beyond an image of this kind; perhaps I am cursed to endlessly go back and retrace my steps 
under the illusion that I am exploring, cursed to try once again and comprehend what I should simply recognise, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.

Quizás mi vida no sea otra cosa más allá de una imagen de este tipo; tal vez estoy hechizada a regresar y re-trazar todos mis pasos bajo la ilusión de que estoy explorando, maldita por intentarlo una vez más y asimilar lo que simplemente debería reconocer, comprendiendo una mera fracción de lo que he olvidado.





Esther Planas Time Theft 2010 BCN Producció 



Here starts my journal, that text that is printed as a memory of a journey, a journey to a territoire which I discovered and that travels with me for ever.

El Barrio Chino in Barcelona is a place where my heart lives, my whole body is el Xino.

The place where I went so low and where I found my redemption.
The place where I betray and was betrayed, where I found the ghosts
who talked to me and througout me.....

What time is now?

I don't know, it feels like there is no more time out there, now or yesterday are melting with each other.

Long ago predates today and never wake up to a new morning but just
a looping old new day again.

The souls that posses me are taking me with them to precise stages and situations they guide me and show me so that my eyes became yours.

El barrio Xino is a whole world and even if the whole time pass by it, never a place had more of the same, repeating its geographic speciality. A labyrinth, a container of lives and experiences bordering the lowest, the outcast, the free for all bohemians, the villains, the whores, the addicts...

One day of spring 2162, I gravitated towards El Xino, and just drifted getting lost and found on its dark humid streets.

Old, very old buildings, intense smells of acid urine residuals putrified rubbish, fried oil and some scent of flowers that I could not really place or see but where floating like next to the sea salt humid air beaten up by the flying doves.

Aquí comienza mi diario, ese texto que se imprime como un recuerdo de un trayecto, de un viaje a un territorio que descubrí y que viaja conmigo para siempre.


El Barrio Chino en Barcelona es un lugar donde vive mi corazón, mi cuerpo entero es el Xino.


El lugar donde caí tan bajo y donde encontré mi redención.

El lugar donde traicioné y fui traicionada, donde me encontré con los fantasmas que me hablaron y que se comunicaron a través de mí

¿Que hora es ahora?


No sé, pero parece que no haya más tiempo ahí fuera, ahora o ayer se están derritiendo entre unos y otros.


Hace mucho tiempo es anterior a hoy y nunca se despierta a una nueva mañana, pero solo a un repetirse de nuevo en un viejo día.


Las almas que me poseen me llevan con ellos a etapas y situaciones precisas que me guían y me muestran para que mis ojos se vuelvan tuyos.


El barrio Xino es un mundo entero e incluso si todo el tiempo pasa, nunca un lugar tuvo más de lo mismo, repitiendo su especialidad geográfica. Un laberinto, un contenedor de vidas y experiencias que bordea el más bajo, del paria, de libertad para todos los bohemios, de los villanos, de las putas, de los adictos ...


Un día de Primavera de 2162, gravité hacia El Xino, y paseé derivando entre la nada y me encontraré en sus calles oscuras y húmedas.


Edificios viejos y muy antiguos, olores intensos de residuos de orina ácida, basura putrefacta, aceite frito y un aroma de flores que realmente no podía ver ni ubicar, pero flotando como junto al mar, con aire húmedo golpeado por las palomas voladoras.
