The power of unfinished ideas | Carme Puche Moré | TEDxJardinsdeLaribal


you
[Music]
I strongly believe that unfinished ideas
have an amazing potential if you share
it if you don’t share it they can remain
unfinished for the rest of the life I
know that sharing and finished ideas it
hurts and it’s very difficult because
every idea has something personal a
piece of ourselves but I really want to
show you that it works it three years
ago I discovered that I had a twin a
twin that didn’t survive in the womb of
my mother so what makes me a won’t win
through Piper it’s astonishing how many
feelings you have when you discover it
first you feel guilty for being alive
and then you feel happy for being alive
and you also discover that there are a
lot of feelings you’ve been having a lot
doing your old life that have makes a
sense things to know that that new
information one of those feelings is
being outside of the society not being
enough for all the people you love and
being also incomplete so I start to
search on internet about that issue and
I found a tribe an African tribe called
Yoruba that they have the highest rate
of twin birds in the world so they have
a full tradition enough for beliefs
about this they believe that if the
twins shared the same soul so when one
dies the other is incomplete to complete
that they invent they build that that
figures of both and the twin that it’s
alive carry one of them to feel complete
again so when I discovered that I knew
that I needed to find my eBay G and
that’s the name of that figure as a
filmmaker
looking for anybody or looking for a
solution for my feelings it’s trying to
explaining in images so here it is my
character the character I am bent for a
short film what I wanted to talk about
this issue this character is a woman a
woman who is outside of the society and
to feel and he’s feeling all the time
that is attracted by something she
didn’t know what it is and she is
starting to to understand that maybe it
will disappear herself because of that
attraction I hadn’t a finished idea
about a nightmare I wanted for that
woman to to have I wanted to have a
nightmare where we could explain this
feeling of being attracted of something
that it’s going to eat you up and I only
had that one water
not being enough and I stayed on this
unfinished idea during six months and
during that six months I was unable to
explain visually that nightmare that it
was so important for my character so one
day I decided to share that a finished
idea with a person I love and a person I
trust and that’s my cinematographer that
one I’m sure that he will prefer
absolutely this photo because it’s more
professional but I definitely prefer
that one because when you share your
unfinished idea you need that someone
that someone that you are sharing to
listen to you from the heart not from
the brain so I asked Sergio to listen to
me as if he was a kid and she did it I
started to explain the idea and talking
to him and the first idea that came to
us it was that one this is a 3d scan we
all have on mind that and this is cute
for the parents but for the rest of the
world is not a cute image so we decided
it wasn’t the best way to start our
exploration so we go to that that’s more
cute it’s more inspiring the
solutely and looking at that I thought
that the answer was there and the answer
it wasn’t on the kid it was in the
reflection of the water and suddenly I
knew it was there my neighbor is close
to that was close to that reflection so
I asked to my cinematographer can we do
that can we put our actress in the water
we will have a reflection and at that
time my cinematographer was in the
city’s film festival and I thought that
maybe he will go to the water in the sea
and film an astonished image but a
reflection but that was what he sent it
to me it’s not what do you what do you
expect from a cinematographer you expect
something better but it was real it was
a reflection of the water so we had the
surface reflection then surfing again in
internet and talking with my
cinematographer we found that amazing
photo of Adam atone this is a real
reflection in the water and the fabrics
were like something very important for
the for this photo so I asked again to
Sergio please can we do that and he said
of course I will try again in the bath
of the hotel and let’s see yes you can
put a fabric in the water and the fabric
will reflect and the surface so ok
technically we can do that and then we
found that that was the area where we
were looking for this amazing photo by
robin soluti Roman salute is doing a
fantastic project called mirrors here it
was the beginning of our nightmare and
then we all decided to put ourselves
into the water put the actors into the
water and finally what we had
was this image of a woman who is being
attracted for herself and also being at
the beginning of disappearing but we
didn’t stop here do you remember the bad
idea about the 3d scans that are not
really cute and they are cute only for
the parents so here the cinematographer
decided to use it to complete the color
of the Essene so I wanted to show you
the final scene of the nightmare
[Music]
[Applause]

[Music]
so we said here and may we find a way to
show this special difficult feeling of
being attracted of something that you
don’t know that it’s close to you but it
will probably make you disappear if you
don’t think about it I really recommend
you that at once at least once a week
you try to explain an unfinished idea it
can be a thought about politics it can
be a feeling about your children or it
can be an idea to change the wall or to
change the kitchen it doesn’t matter
because it always happens amazing things
with that and it happens to me in fact
and now I have my veggie and I feel
complete again thank you so much
[Applause]
