“Estamos como sampleando de la calle, del barrio, del pueblo, del polígono industrial, estamos sampleando esa cosa y resignificándola.”
“Gold Diggers (Iruña)” is a project brought to life inspired by street graphisms as well as their creators.“
It is a reflection about identity, about neighborhood, stories… It is a collaborative project between me and local graffiti writers.
In the context of hip-hop, “digger” refers to a individuals who search for and collect vinyl records to get samples out of them in order to create new music themselves.
Following that philosophy, I created three design interventions, which are collected in the fourth one, the book.
Oct/Nov 2023. Pamplona/Iruña.
Project moderated by Lucas Muñoz.
Marina Jimenez.
(Extracts from the interviews to graffiti writers in the book).
Collaborative MonoBloc chair.
5 graffiti writers painted this chair , each one has the freedom to paint the way they prefer.
Pieces of tape preserve the writer’s painting in an specific patter to chronologically see the layers in the chair.
When the tape is taken out, 5 layers of different paintings will be discovered.
First Intervention.
From what once was a sketch in some writer´s black book, then naturally happened to be a graffiti piece on a wall and that finally was torn to pieces in an abandoned spot near Pamplona/Navarra.
The second intervention is created from a piece of wall debris that was found in a graffiti spot and used as a reflection of ephemerality.
Second Intervention.
Third Intervention.
This third intervention was done to reflect again about ephemerality. Street graphisms are many times overlapped, following rules conformed by the streets or not.
I intend on collecting these in a piece that will stop ephemerality and that will keep these living forever, bringing the character of the outsides into the inside with this shop-blind textile.
Photographs of shop blinds were taken and then overlapped in order to create a design that would be later printed into a semi silk synthetic fabric of 100x142 cm.
