The Museu T\u00e0pies has organised a series of screenings for the public presentation of <\/span>fe sense obres morta \u00e9s<\/span><\/i> [faith without works is dead], the new film production by Albert Serra, which renders homage to the person and work of Antoni T\u00e0pies. The initiative arose from the museum\u2019s intent to expand understanding of the T\u00e0pies\u2019 legacy through \u201cindisciplined\u201d contemporary gazes, able to forge new narratives from his work. The proposal pertains to a line of programming that emphasises experimentation and dialogue between diverse artistic expressions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, Serra\u2014an internationally recognised filmmaker, producer and screenwriter whose career is distinguished by formal freedom and conceptual radicality\u2014has accepted the challenge of creating a personal, unrestrained and nontransferable approximation to the universe of T\u00e0pies. The result is a film that does not seek to explain nor interpret, but rather to suggest, invoke and emotionally move us. It is a piece that is open and sensorial, opting for poetic evocation over direct representation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>fe sense obres morta \u00e9s<\/span><\/i>, Serra delves into the most intimate and spiritual terrains of the production of T\u00e0pies, exploring the material limits, symbolic charge and philosophical density of a unique gaze that is incorruptible and always provocative. The film sidesteps conventional narrative in constructing an immersive experience that dialogues with the artist\u2019s thought and aesthetics, accentuating their present-day relevance, complexity and transformative verve. It is an audiovisual project that is much more than a portrait or exercise in interpretation: it is an autonomous artistic proposal that, with the world of T\u00e0pies as its starting point, reveals hidden and unexpected aspects of it. It is also an invitation to approach T\u00e0pies from new perspectives, through the language of film as a realm of reflection and interpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this screening series, the Museu T\u00e0pies solidifies its commitment to contemporary creation and to the critical revision of Antoni T\u00e0pies\u2019 work, encouraging encounters between a diverse set of generations, disciplines and artistic sensibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
