Last January, we were invited to the\u00a0Mumbai Urban Art Festival (MUAF)<\/a><\/strong> to carry out our piece\u00a0The Plastic We Live With<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We wanted to graphically show the excess of plastic that is around us, a recurring issue in our work and in life, since almost everything we consume is made of it or wrapped in it or we eat it in the tiny particles found in meat and fish, not to mention the fact that it is also in the air we breathe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There seems to be a general agreement on the fact that recycling is not enough to put a stop to this problem. Governments around the world are working on bringing its consumption to a minimum. One of the first steps has been to ban the use of non-recyclable bags and plastics at shops, which have been replaced with paper bags or bags made of biodegradable materials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

India\u2019s government has recently banned them<\/a><\/strong> so it was easier for us to collect the bags that we needed to complete our piece. We got them through a public announcement made by the\u00a0Mumbai First<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0team who managed to collect more than 8,000 units through donations from neighbors and local businesses. To our surprise, plastic bags in India were not printed so the color range was not very rich. However, this was not a setback but rather gave the piece a more sober \u2018organic\u2019 look compared to past occasions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We used them to intervene the\u00a0Evelyn Guesthouse<\/a><\/strong> facade, completely filling the big gaps of its facade until producing the effect that the plastic was overflowing the building.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although it was a light installation, it could also be enjoyed during the day. Its unhealthy appearance stood in shrill contrast with the magnificent luxurious facades of the Colaba district, something that really caught the eye of passers-by. At night, as they were illuminated from the inside, the windows looked as if they had been covered by a strange fluorescent toxic plastic vegetation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The piece remained installed for 5 days, time during which it was visited by a huge number of locals. This was so thanks to the festival\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We want to thank all the people whose hard work helped us get into the festival and set up this large piece. First off, to the 50 volunteers and workers who helped us and shared their time and experience with us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To the festival\u2019s extraordinary team: Julia, Rhea, Thomas, Arjun, Summet, Sohil, Akmal\u2026 Special thanks to Mar\u00eda and RItesh who managed everything with utmost professionalism. We also want to thank the sponsors who were always by our side and the hotel staff who took care of us with great kindness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thanks to Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez\u00a0@meihache<\/a><\/strong> for her photoreport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We are already dying to go back!!!!.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Time of installation: and installation: 8 days.
Damages: none.
Exhibition time: 5 day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

—————————————<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

El pasado mes de enero, fuimos invitados por el festival de arte urbano MUAF<\/a>, a Mumbai para llevar a cabo nuestra pieza \u00abEl pl\u00e1stico con el que vivimos\u00bb<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La idea es visualizar gr\u00e1ficamente, el exceso de pl\u00e1stico que nos rodea, un tema recurrente en nuestro trabajo y en la vida, ya que pr\u00e1cticamente todo lo que consumimos, est\u00e1 hecho de este material o va envuelto en \u00e9l o nos lo estamos comiendo en min\u00fasculas part\u00edculas que se encuentran en la carne y el pescado, por no mencionar que tambi\u00e9n lo respiramos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Parece que hay consenso en que reciclar no basta para atajar el problema, y gobiernos de todo el mundo est\u00e1n tomando medidas para reducir en lo posible su consumo. Una de las primeras ha sido prohibir el uso de bolsas y pl\u00e1sticos de un solo uso en el comercio, que son sustituidas por otras de papel o de materiales biodegradables.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

El gobierno de India recientemente ha prohibido su uso<\/a>, lo que nos ha puesto m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil recolectar las bolsas que necesit\u00e1bamos para completar nuestra pieza, y que conseguimos gracias a una convocatoria p\u00fablica llevada a cabo por la organizaci\u00f3n Mumbai First<\/a> que lleg\u00f3 a recolectar mas de 8.000 unidades de los vecinos y de las donaciones de almacenes y tiendas de toda la ciudad que ya no las pueden usar. Para nuestra sorpresa las bolsas de pl\u00e1stico en la india no se imprim\u00edan y la gama de colores tampoco era muy variada lo cual, lejos de ser un impedimento, le dio a la pieza un aspecto mas sobrio y \u201cnatural\u201d que en anteriores ocasiones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Con ellas intervinimos la fachada del Evelyn Guesthousee<\/a>, llenando completamente los grandes huecos de su fachada hasta conseguir que pareciera que el pl\u00e1stico desbordaba completamente el edificio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A pesar de ser una instalaci\u00f3n de luz, tambi\u00e9n se pod\u00eda disfrutar de d\u00eda y su aspecto insano contrastaba con las magnificas y lujosas fachadas del barrio de Colada llamando poderosamente la atenci\u00f3n de los transe\u00fantes. De noche, iluminadas desde el interior, las ventanas parec\u00edan cubiertas por una extra\u00f1a vegetaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica fluorescente y t\u00f3xica .<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La pieza permaneci\u00f3 instalada 5 d\u00edas, en la que fue visitada por un grand\u00edsimo numero de ciudadanos, gracias al poder de convocatoria del festival.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Queremos dar las gracias a las personas que han puesto todo su empe\u00f1o para que hayamos podido participar en el festival y montar esta gran pieza. Primero por supuesto a los m\u00e1s de 50 voluntarios y trabajadores que nos han ayudado y compartido tiempo y experiencia con nosotros.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Al extraordinario equipo del festival, Julia, Rhea, Summet, Sohil… y especialmente a Mar\u00eda y a RItesh que gestionaron todo con la mayor profesionalidad. Tambi\u00e9n agradecer a los patrocinadores, que siempre estuvieron cerca de nosotros y a todo el staff del hotel que nos atendi\u00f3 con la mayor amabilidad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gracias a Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez\u00a0@meihache<\/a>, por el reportaje fotogr\u00e1fico.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ya estamos deseando volver!!!!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tiempo de montaje:\u00a0 8 d\u00edas.
Da\u00f1os ocasionados: 0.
Permanencia de la intervenci\u00f3n: 5 d\u00edas.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
