Welcome to POTENTIA GAUDENCI, a six-episode series that acts as an expanded soundtrack, as sonic echoes and discursive provocations of the exhibition CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM.
 

Hosted by Alba Rihe, artist and agitator, this episode is not looking for conclusions.

It’s looking for fire.

Press play. Let the gaudència begin!

POTENTIA GAUDENCI #1: Mediatic image, with Ladilla Rusa

This first episode takes the form of an interview and cracks open big questions around media image. How is it built? Who controls it? What does it mean to live inside a GIF, a meme, a stage that never goes dark?
 

That’s why we’re joined by Ladilla Rusa, an emotionally suburban pop parody duo and sharp chroniclers of a reality that makes you laugh and think. With them, we talk about public identity, image culture, aesthetic pressure, and survival mechanisms in the digital spin cycle.

Ladilla Rusa are the first guests of POTENTIA GAUDENCI — an outstanding musical duo mixing sentimental bakalao, neighbourhood storytelling and pop critique, saturated with images, memes, likes and contradictions.

In this episode, Alba Rihe —artist, writer and performer— dives into Ladilla Rusa’s hyperconnected minds to talk frankly about media image, public personas, the anxiety of contemporary speed, and authenticity as a punk act.

An organic interview powered by Frenadol, institutional context, and comfy chairs.
