As we do every year, we want to send our best wishes for the upcoming year, and we are doing it with a new guerrilla piece which is also to give food for thought as to what it is happening around us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The one for this year \u2013 Death by Plastic \u2013 has come out a bit apocalyptic. We are truly sorry as we are aware that these are days for celebration and joy. However, we are not in the mood for something more sarcastic considering what is going on.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We carried out this action at the close of the COP25 World Climate Summit, which we had the dubious honor of hosting in Madrid in the beginning of December, at the very same location where it actually took place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These were intense days for Madrilenians as we were visited by renowned personalities: those who know, those who move the masses, those who rule, those who want to be seen, and also the international press. They all gathered in harmony in an attempt to come to an agreement on solutions to the \u201cclimate crisis.\u201d Wow!!!!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As this went on behind closed doors somewhere in the outskirts, the city wore its most ecofriendly attire. We, the citizens, protested and also made our best to meet our obligations to the environment, though we eventually came to the discovery that all of it was just a diversion and that the event was, ironically, not sustainable at all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Angered and disappointed with the adopted resolutions, we wrote the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe people from the Climate Summit are already leaving with bowed heads (by taxi or by plane) without having reached any significant agreements, as we all expected. Everything was just a mirage.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Few effective resolutions, and big business opportunities for those who parade the flag of sustainability around.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s try again next year, perhaps with lengthier political speeches, but never listening to the scientific community or the citizens. And always under the sponsorship of the most polluting companies which are always happy to take this opportunity to clean up their image.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For now, the \u201cclimate crisis\u201d is officially postponed until the most environmentally unfriendly countries find a better time to deal with it.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We are ashamed for having provided the scenario for such a ludicrous charade.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In order to carry out this piece, we made skin with transparent fabric which we filled with plastic waste.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It was easy to get as we only had to collect plastic waste generated from Christmas shopping in one of Madrid\u2019s busiest shopping areas. It was funny to see how none of these shops provided their customers with plastic bags while, through their back door, they got rid of tons of plastic from their products\u2019 packaging.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our good friends also helped enlarge the bodies though not much, since they are all trying to reduce their consumption.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We installed the bodies, lit them, chalked off their silhouette as in a crime scene, and left them in display for a few hours.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We then picked everything up to leave no trace of our visit so that, now, we have a bunch of plastic creatures stored for future uses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We want to thank Monta\u00f1a, Elisa, Angel, Victor, Roberto, Marcelo, Marina, L\u00eddia, Diana, Laura, Isabel, Marilena, Clara, Ad\u00e9rito<\/a> for helping us make this piece possible, and Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a>\u00a0 for her photographs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

for helping us make this piece possible, and Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a>\u00a0 for her photographs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For next year, we hope to be in higher spirits so that we can go back to the good sense of humor we enjoy so much.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite this pessimistic aftertaste, we still want to wish you a Happy New Year or, actually, a happy decade free of any sort of polluting materials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

———————–<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Como cada a\u00f1o os queremos desear lo mejor para el futuro, con una nueva pieza de guerrilla que adem\u00e1s aporte alguna reflexi\u00f3n sobre lo que pasa a nuestro alrededor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La de este a\u00f1o\u201cMuertos por pl\u00e1stico\u201d nos ha salido medio apocal\u00edptica, lo sentimos pero es que que no estamos muy de humor para algo m\u00e1s sarc\u00e1stico como nos gusta.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La acci\u00f3n la llevamos a cabo al finalizar la Cumbre Mundial del Clima COP25 que tuvimos el dudoso honor de acoger en Madrid a principios de diciembre, y la hicimos en el mismo escenario en el que est\u00e1 tuvo lugar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fueron d\u00edas muy intensos para los madrile\u00f1os y el evento atrajo a grandes personalidades: a los que saben, a los que mueven masas, a los que mandan, a los que quieren ser vistos, y tambi\u00e9n a la prensa mundial, todos juntos para tratar de avanzar soluciones a la \u201ccrisis clim\u00e1tica\u201d, oohhhhh!!!!.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mientras esto pasaba a puerta cerrada en la periferia, la ciudad se adorn\u00f3 con sus mejores galas ecosostenibles, y los ciudadanos nos manifestamos y tambi\u00e9n nos esforz\u00e1bamos un poco m\u00e1s por hacer nuestros deberes con el medio ambiente, todo para acabar descubriendo que se trataba de una nueva maniobra de distracci\u00f3n y parad\u00f3jicamente, un evento nada sostenible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Enfadadas y defraudadas escribimos esto: \u201cYa se van cabizbajos los de la cumbre del clima, (en taxi y en avi\u00f3n) sin haber logrado ning\u00fan acuerdo rese\u00f1able, como ya nos esper\u00e1bamos. Todo fue puro espejismo.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pocas resoluciones eficaces y grandes oportunidades de negocio para todo el que se pinte de color verde sostenible.
<\/em>
Ya si eso\u2026 al a\u00f1o que viene\u2026 se vuelve a intentar\u2026, quiz\u00e1s con discursos pol\u00edticos m\u00e1s largos, pero sin la menor intenci\u00f3n de escuchar a la comunidad cient\u00edfica ni a la ciudadan\u00eda.
Y siempre con el patrocinio de las empresas m\u00e1s contaminantes deseando darse un buen lavado de cara.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Por ahora, oficialmente queda pospuesta la \u201ccrisis clim\u00e1tica\u201d, hasta que a los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s agresivos con el medio ambiente les venga mejor.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Verg\u00fcenza nos da haber servido de escenario a semejante sainete c\u00f3mico\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Para llevar a cabo la pieza, creamos una piel de tela transparente, que rellenamos de basura pl\u00e1stica.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fue f\u00e1cil, solo tuvimos que salir a recolectar pl\u00e1stico desechado durante el periodo de las compras navide\u00f1as, de una de las zonas m\u00e1s comerciales de Madrid. Curiosamente, en ninguna tienda dispensan ya bolsas de pl\u00e1stico a los clientes, mientras, por la puesta de atr\u00e1s, tiran toneladas, procedentes del envoltorio de los productos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nuestros amigo tambi\u00e9n contribuyeron a engordar los cuerpos, aunque poco, que todos est\u00e1n muy concienciados con reducir su consumo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Instalamos los cuerpos lis iluminamos, y dibujamos la silueta, como si de un levantamiento de cad\u00e1veres se tratar\u00e1, y lo dejamos unas horas expuesto.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despu\u00e9s lo recogimos todo para que no quedara ni rastro de nuestra visita, y ahora tenemos un mont\u00f3n de seres pl\u00e1sticos guardados a la espera de darles nuevos usos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Queremos agradecer a Monta\u00f1a, Elisa, Angel, Victor, Roberto, Marcelo, Marina, L\u00eddia, Diana, Laura, Isabel, Marilena, Clara, Ad\u00e9rito, <\/a>por habernos ayudado a dar vida a la pieza. Y a Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a>\u00a0 por las fotos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Esperamos estar m\u00e1s animadas el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o y volver al el humor que tanto nos gusta.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Os deseamos un feliz a\u00f1o, mejor dicho una feliz d\u00e9cada, libre de cualquier tipo de material contaminante.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
