Sam says: Get your Individual One and Only's" enjoy life!




 

 









All these bags are made by volunteers who work for Fundació Fias Prisba as seems stresses or people doing  social services instead of serving prison  or if they can't afford to pay hefty fines. The money raised in their shop and in their laundry service shop goes to a day centre for the aged and a social eaterie. Where not only the old but people who are struggling financially can eat and shower. 
I can't find their web page now. I know they were in the process of changing names, so just let me go this afternoon to the shop as I have to collect some more bags and double check their new name and web page.
Here's a video in Catalan about them: 


Well a few hours have gone by since I wrote the text above and I have since gone to collect some more bags and bibs from the "2 Ma" shop I mention above and I asked Manoli who is the lady who runs the shop what their new name was and she gave me a brochure. So here goes they are now called FUNDACIÓ ROURE -

Sibbling love / Me skin and blister

Sam lived in Paris and I lived in Barcelona and although neither of us were very good at regular phone contact as we both worked mainly on the phone so we were both reluctant to speak on it out of work hours. However we always saw each other during the holidays.

Here is one of Sam's trips to Barcelona:

Sam says: "Stop frowning"


We now live in a society where everything we do is recorded and posted on social media. Future generations will be able to relive our lives as if they are watching a tv series.  Yes we have always kept photo albums and scrap books to record our lives. 

Sam would come to Barcelona and visit every summer. 
Her video camera was an extension of her body. 
Sam & I inherited our obsession from our French grand-father the original "CameraMammal" of our clan. We were told how annoying our Grand-father "CameraMammal" was constantly following everyone with his super 8 covering his face.  Our mother and aunt have a very good photographic eye. 
Every single thing we do in life is ephemeral. Somehow living every moment  through a little hole and capturing it allows you to relive these moments time and time again and awakens your emotions. It's as if we want to capture life and lock it up in a box. 

This project "Sam says enjoy life! " was created on the basis of watching hours and hours of footage that my sister Sam filmed and contaminating society with this felicitous way of life.
