Recording my twin sisters to build memories together

For a while, when they were small, I used to photograph and record my twin sisters Julia and Clara when I saw them - they lived in the Canary Islands - so we would have a record of us together when they would grow up.

I have to say it has worked out! Now I wish I would have more of these silly movies :)) In the video in Portugal the water was so cold they were friezing. In the Golden Balls one, I wrapped so hard the aluminium foil around their arms it was hurting them after.... But they were such good and enthousiastic participants, these moments really built a lot of love and complicity.


Now they are wonderful young women and so beautiful and well educated. I am so proud of them, so I am finally adding all the videos.

Project Gallery

Idée Fixe  is a Transdisciplinary Studio of Art and Architecture, run by Cristina Guadalupe Galván.

If in a website you normally find finished objects and products to share, what we are sharing here are more ideas – tested, developed and lived -- and their processes, that in many instances ended up happily physical. The creative process is about experimentation and the life that goes with it. The life and the people.

While building this site I came across a quote that explained it to me much better, by architects Josep Ferrando & Marta Poch, for their Quaderns d´Arquitectura, issue 273, THE THINKING TRADE:

      In a world dominated by images of the finished object and the immediacy of access to multimedia content, this issue of Quaderns sets out to reflect on the role of the architect –by means of their working processes, of the working methods (…) leaving the image of the built project on the background.

For artist Sol LeWitt, the process was also the work:

      The idea becomes a machine that makes the art. (...) It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned. 

Architect Josep Maria Sostres said something similar:

      The project, obviously as a mental conception, as a will to form, has a sovereignty, it has an internal power that must be imposed.

So this archive-website of Idee-Fixe, records more these ideas, processes and in many instances the collaborations that made them possible.

It´s about THE LIFE OF IDEAS.
