In their Barcelona hideaway, Miriam and Tiago, 'les enfants terribles' of the young Catalan art scene, are conjuring something special. Their work echoes the spirit of Eric Rohmer, blending casual elegance with raw, unfiltered moments. With a penchant for uncovering the hidden poetry in everyday life and an aim to elevate the mundane, they draw from their European escapades to create emotionally potent and evocative videos. This is not just photography; it's a love story told through a uniquely personal lens.
Tiago: I'm curious—if you had to describe our creative partnership with just one image or metaphor, what would it be?
M: I feel that our partnership is like a dance, fluid and synchronised, reflecting our seamless collaboration and mutual understanding.
Tiago: What’s one moment in our travels that you think sort of embodies our creative energy?
M: Hmm, I'd say filming spontaneously at that hidden beach or the cute café in Italy. Everything just clicked naturally, and it really captured our creative spirit.
Miriam: Can you talk about what we do to reconnect and spark new ideas for our projects?
T: Well, when we feel a bit stuck or uninspired we go to the cinema or watch a movie together at home. We try to see something that we both like, especially in terms of aesthetics and sensibilities, like movies from the 70s, 80s. This usually leads to conversations about things we could film or places we could visit to shoot.
Miriam: How do you think our work resonates with people on a personal level?
T: I think people connect with our work because we portray mundane situations that everyone may have experienced at one time or another, but in a more beautiful way than reality usually is.
Miriam: What’s a quality in my approach to our projects that you like the most?
T: I admire your ability to art-direct everything around you, even if we are not shooting anything, everything has to please you aesthetically. So when we film something all the set is ready even if we're just on the street.
Tiago: Miriam, what is currently your biggest dream and how do you see it influencing it our future projects?
M: I dream of creating my own brand so we can travel the world and work at the same time.
Miriam: If we could spend a day anywhere in the world solely to inspire our next project, where would you choose and why?
T: I would choose a place in the world with minimal tourism and a culture vastly different from our own—somewhere where people maintain their traditional customs with little influence from the Western and digital world we live in. To find other ways of seeing and doing things, which can be inspiring.
