Screen Walk with Azahara Cerezo
About this film
Azahara Cerezo led the audience on a tour of political graffitis through Google Street View. In 2015 the artist started collecting images from different sites of political tension during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), for her project “Paisajes digitales de una guerra” (digital landscapes of a war). Messages appear on walls, rushed and ephemeral: they are written, crossed out, rewritten, erased. Google captures them through photographs taken at different moments, stitched together and forming layers of time. Street View becomes a tool for documentation and observation of how tensions evolve within the time frame that the platform itself creates. Screen Walks is a new series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
