        CARABANCHEL PRISON

        Soundtrack EP & Short Film

        broken image

        Carabanchel Prison invites us to reflect on the fact that those days are over now,

        and looks to a brighter future. It traces a line – quite literally – from confinement to exit,

        and to freedom. If only this was possible for more historical dates and places.

        Hubo una época, no hace tanto tiempo, en la que las cárceles habitaban los barrios de nuestras ciudades,

        formaban parte del paisaje urbano y nos recordaban a todos que podíamos entrar en esa dimensión paralela oscura y maloliente.

        Hoy eso ha cambiado, pese a tener una población penitenciaria enorme, proporcionalmente mayor a la que hubo en muchas décadas pasadas,

        y necesitamos a artistas como Kim Warsen para ofrecernos paseos por lo liminal, por las ruinas de una cárcel que,

        de forma complementaria, también nos muestra las ruinas de nuestra libertad.

        Short Film

        CARABANCHEL PRISON

        The film portrays a person painting a line from the prison's epicenter to across the wall. The abstract textures that

        drown the images are created by streams of water. The film was shot in 2006, inside the prison of Carabanchel,

        Madrid. The prison had then been closed and abandoned for almost 10 years. It was finally demolished in 2008.

        The tapes were edited in 2023, 17 years after its making.

        The film features Ragnar Bey as the painter. Original Soundtrack made by WAR SAN and released on Transnational Records.

        A film by Kim Warsen.

        Format: MiniDV / 4:3. Length 10:59 min.
