Miralda, the Sacred Stomach
Director Zé Peixoto
Countries Spain, Netherlands
Duration 52 min
Synopsis
Miralda and his work throughout more than 40 years offer a new revision of the transformations our western civilization has endured. In New York, Paris, Berlin and Barcelona, this artist reveals his struggle to preserve the cultural memory of a contemporary man without a singular physiognomy. His international career can be placed besides an aspect of the contemporary art related to the fusion of cultures, the popular language and the establishment of a new aesthetical ethics. A reflection about his work will be used to question the role of art related with the new concepts of globalised culture.
