““The Body That Exists More Than I Do” is an audiovisual short film based on archival footage that reflects relationships and nostalgia through the subcultural movement of "La Ruta del Bacalao". Using an informative approach, it analyses its history and critical figures, showing Valencia's avant-garde and artistic variety during the 1980s. Simultaneously, the narrative voice articulates a second poetic line, reflecting on nostalgia and liquid relationships nowadays. Combining both, the film creates an intergenerational perspective on memory, remembrance, and its idealisation.

This short film stems from a personal interest in the physical format of pictures. My parents saved multiple failed photographs; some are blurry or have a finger in front of the lens. They saved these pictures just like the rest. Some of them even got to be in our family albums. Nonetheless, images got carelessly lost or were forgotten when they bought their first digital camera.

This short film reflects on how the passage of time has transformed the atmosphere of the mill where the author's grandfather was born, now uninhabited. It invites us to conceive of spaces as repositories of life and memory and let our imagination wander through the spectral world she discovers when she explores the house today.

My mother always told me that I could be whatever I wanted. Together with three other female artists, using my domestic archive as a link, I began a personal reflection on freedom, women, and culture in rural areas and the importance of our roots.
