UNA TORRE EN LLAMAS is an audiovisual project in which a succession of scenes is represented inside a simulation tower. This building is based in the Fire Department of San Sebastian and is designed to be de scenario where that firefighters train and simulate any potential threats that happen in the city. Floor after floor, the video shows how the firefighters simulate rescue maneuvers with “dummies”, which are used to represent the bodies of citizens. A voice-over, interpreted by an actor, gives a memory to the mannequin and narrates the testimonies of 9 firefighters that I interviewed. I asked them if they ever experienced a situation in which they felts that were not prepared to face reality outside of work, as civilians.
