El Caganer

2007-09-12

“In Catalonia, as well as in the rest of Spain and in most of Italy and Southern France, the traditional Christmas decoration is a large model of the city of Bethlehem.
The Catalans have added an extra character known as the Caganer, often tucked away where he is not easily noticed.
“Caganer” translates from Catalan to English as “pooper”, and that is exactly what this little statue is doing: taking a poo.”.
(from Wikipedia)

El Caganer : “nice character of Catalan tradition”.

Cashback

“When you fall asleep you’re unaware of sleeping until your awake.
During last missing hours a whole other world comes alive.
Welcome to the nightshift.”.
Cashback

Cashback (the short)*, from Google Video; and Cashback, the movie*.
“I think that the film tells us that what we spend our lives looking for is often right in front of us.
And if we take the time to see things calmly, we find in us what we want or we find ways to obtain it.”.
(Sean Ellis)
