Catalan director collective CANADA talk about their film, Sound and Vision, an homage to late pop icon David Bowie:

“The curators of the David Bowie Is exhibition, which is currently on show at Barcelona Design Museum, invited us to shoot something for the exhibition—a tribute film. The only requirement was that Barcelona and Bowie would be somehow related. Bowie as a figure looms so large, that our instinctive first reaction was to approach him obliquely, rather than frontally. Not putting him in the foreground but to scatter his mythic stardust over a non-related world.

“We developed the idea of an enigmatic, multilingual and laconic dialogue between a teenage boy and girl in a very distinctive yet not fashionable Barcelonan spot: a Chinese bazaar. This dialogue, led by the girl, should work as a magnetic force between them, isolated in a sort of symbolic labyrinth. So they talk and hear each other but they don’t see or touch each other. 

“The dreamy and mellow nature of the song, a piano version of the original track, worked well as a canvas where all the imagery depicted in the first part of the film could showcase a more fantastical feature. The fuse becomes a spider from Mars, the girl’s blue hair is mirrored in a wool thread that comes alive looking for a heart desiring to be pierced, and chewing gum becomes that heart.”
