It\u2019s currently one of the cultural phenomena that people see in a very poor light. It\u2019s bad enough if it generates excessive expectations but when someone directly destroys an ending it provokes a shock wave of pure rage that can end the social life of anybody. It\u2019s not my intention, so if you haven\u2019t passed through M\u00f3stoles recently, and are thinking of doing so, I suggest you read this in a few days time. <\/p>\n<p>When an exhibition is susceptible to a spoiler it means that it has a well-constructed dramatic discourse, and this is what the combination of the series, <em>The fall of a hair<\/em> and the piece, <em>Double Shouting<\/em>, in the  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ca2m.org\/es\/presentes\/rabih-mroue\">show curated by Aurora Fern\u00e1ndez Polanco about Rabih Mrou\u00e9 in the CA2M<\/a> achieves. If after a detailed analysis of the mediatisation of armed conflicts you feel as if you are being shot at (here the mega spoiler) it\u2019s upsetting. At least if you are a zealous spectator, as is my case, and you scrupulously follow the installation\u2019s instructions.  It\u2019s a fair old trot and one\u2019s amazed at the unveiling of photograms in the form of a gigantic folioscope, and just when you begin to ask yourself why the last plates have been placed in a sequence descending towards the floor, boom! Mrou\u00e9 puts you in the place of Leonardo Henrichsen, Eman Burnat, and so many other anonymous figures, who have filmed attacks, live on their cameras.  <\/p>\n<p>Henrichsen was assassinated on 29 July 1973, during the first hours of the military coup of the government of Salvador Allende. The last shot he filmed as a correspondent shows a soldier shooting at the camera, his camera, and it was used as the closing sequence, of the first part of <em>La Batalla de Chile<\/em> by Patricio Guzm\u00e1n. Eman Burnat is the author of <em>5 c\u00e1maras rotas,<\/em> a documentary film about the Palestine resistance in Bil\u2019in, a small village in the West Bank; the chronicle of five cameras destroyed during the demonstrations and confrontations with the Israeli army between 2005 and 2010. The comparison of these two cases presents the change of paradigm in how information is transmitted: from the professional journalist, to the recording and mass diffusion by those actually involved. <\/p>\n<p>The panorama derived from this mutation and the ample access to recording devices is the centre of the investigation that Rabih Mrou\u00e9 realizes into the Syrian civil war. This piece, thanks to its experiential dimension, manages to disrupt the usual perception of this type of hackneyed image, that through their proliferation on the Internet seem progressively to lose the capability to have any emotional impact. The films cited have a documentary intention, endeavouring to disseminate specific political and social events using the images with the most impact. The experience of a fictitious shot recreated through a real scenario is something else; almost in bad taste, and when you launch the first one, its shocking. However, it\u2019s a good shot, the type that nudges you out of the place you occupy and this is an admirable objective for artists and curators.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nobody likes a spoiler.
