Globanalidades is a two dimensional fiction composed by five pieces, each piece relates
an entangled tale of life within the globalized world. Goods are traded and exchanged while
information flows smoothly through this absurd economic landscape. The characters that
inhabit this landscape belong to a "Brave New World" - they symbolize a new breed of
man, an alienated being detached from its surroundings and systematically manipulated
by the global conglomerates.
The characters of Globanalidades, just like those characters from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World live programmed lives, are servile without knowing and blindly follow the parameters
set by a society ruled by corporations and their heads. The aesthetic and narrative structure
of this project follow a CNN/Hollywood sensibility, both in the spectacle look and the fragmented style in which the story is told.
Each character and situation was shot digitally and separelty in a studio. Later all portions
were composed together using the computer creating the five different panels that comprise this photographic piece.
Used programs: Photoshop 5.0 and Illustrator 9.0.
