The Walls Can Talk
Spain2022documentary75'Fokus na Hiszpanię (2023)
Saura ends his cinematographic career with a documentary in which he pays homage to art. In his interviews with famous artists, such as sculptor and painter Miguel Barceló or graffiti artist Musa71, he is looking for an answer to the question about the nature of art. Together with them, he contemplates inspirations with old art in the activity of contemporary artists and conducts a philosophical dialogue on the relationship between an artist and the material, art and space. Eventually, he poses a provoking question: What constitutes the difference between modern murals in urban space and paintings in the caves of Altamira or Lascaux?
