Ser alguien en la vida

Who gets to dream and about what? Are we condemning young people’s hopes for the future as impossible from the outset?

Ser alguien en la vida (“To be somebody in life”) is a collection of texts written by young people about their dreams and fears for the future. In the film, an adult woman and a man reproduce the documentary texts word for word, looking directly into the camera, sometimes in dialogue with each other.

An excerpt from the work can be seen in the AV-Arkki, Centre for Finnish Media Art. Inquiries and full-length version from AV-Arkki or the artist.
