And in the beginning there was the image

The bud, the beginning, the origin of everything... These are the concepts to which the film exhibition that we can see these days at the Fundació Joan Brossa refers. Until 25th February, you will see how Mar Reykjavik extends a beginning... until the end.

Principi, principi, principi (pictured. Photo: Rafael Guijarro) is one of the three winning projects of the open call PostBrossa 2023 (the other two are Això no és res, by Irena Visa, and Les Plenàries i les Tènies, by Jose Begega), in which each project is an exhibition based on a metaphorical game.

You can see it in this work, which breaks one of the basic principles of stories, the sequencing of the narrative, to present a story that, in fact, has neither beginning nor end.

In the film you are about to see, you will find seven attempts by the artist to stretch the beginnings to the end of the film, breaking the sequentiality of the story and proposing a specific way of communication in which we will follow a plot traversed by seven shoots, seven beginnings that form a single shoot or beginning, isolated from the rest of the elements of the story.

It is a creation of Mar Reykjavik, specialised in contemporary audiovisual creation and graduated in Fine Arts at the Universitat Politècnica de València, who makes art, but also teaches in spaces such as Master Lav Laboratori de creació audiovisual contemporània, EACC Espai d'Art Contemporani de Castelló or IED Institut Europeu del Disseny. She has shown her creations in venues ranging from the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM) to the Can Felipa Civic Centre in Barcelona and La Casa Encendida and Matadero in Madrid. She has also shown her creations in Sweden, Argentina and France, among other countries.
