ruido ê (the film) takes a bastardized form, it is a musical documentary with thriller overtones that is interrupted and torn to pieces. Noise, beyond acoustic impact, becomes a difficulty of legibility and narrative purity, a shock between languages, a synesthetic buzz that hacks the vision and at the same time makes it erotic.
The film ruido ê (the film) is the condensation of a collective project of artistic research-production. The filmic has functioned as an alibi to weave meshes of work with scientists, divers and artists through questions of somatic attention, perception, vulnerability and resistance. Here, Silvia Zayas has worked close to the Torpedo torpedo electric rays, a species abundant in areas that the artist calls postpunk: urban underwater areas of the Catalan Mediterranean, belonging to environments in constant urban transformation. From the maritime works for the extension of the breakwater of the San Sebastian beach in Barcelona, with a metallic hand-crane throwing concrete buckets, passing through the whole post-industrial area between the mouth of the Besós river, Sant Adriá, to the Pont del Petroli in Badalona, partially collapsed by the Gloria storm. Several phenomena work mixed in us, it is not possible to observe only from the outside and vertically, the materiality of the film is unexpectedly broken from the inside by violent holes, ghosts and fleeting songs.
