In Nada que ganar, nada que perder [Nothing to gain, nothing to lose], SomosNosotros shares with us an interview that analyses the figure of an emerging artist in the Spanish context. The questions are taken from a real field study (carried out since 2013 with different emerging artistic agents in Spain), but the setting is intentionally fictitious: a Caribbean beach that doesn't disguise its false character and acts as a backdrop for the scene.

The setting contrasts with the coldness of the conversation, which unpacks – with a critical eye – the precarious situations that an emerging artist encounters. The blue sky, the palm trees, the white sand and the crystalline water transport us to a paradisiacal landscape that contrasts with the precariousness exposed and also with the formality and rectitude of the interview.

An interview does not respond to the conventional model. Firstly, because neither the interviewer nor the interviewee open their mouths and their voice is replaced by a robotic voice-over, which absolves the exchange of humanity and accentuates its coldness. The second disruptive element is the interaction between the two individuals – the interviewee remains obedient and offers no resistance to the constant taunting to which he is subjected by the questioner. These interactions are gentle at first, but escalate as the dialogue progresses, as if the interviewee were a hostage and the interview a torture, from which they don't even try to free themselves.

This acceptance of kidnapping is an idea that agrees with the conceptual background of the proposal, which – without abandoning irony and humour – also explores the guilt that the emerging artist himself plays in accepting (and, consequently, perpetuating) the bad practices and precariousness of the Spanish cultural sector.
