‘Füu di Frei’ (Feeling Free) narrates the story of a group of writers whose connection transcends the ordinary. They share the same goal: to challenge the status quo. Their impulse for breaching barriers knows no limits, and it helps them face extreme situations, such as exploring train depots at -11ºC, going through mental breakdowns, and escaping from trains in motion. Their search for freedom redefines the limits and questions their sense of risk in an environment that demands continuous adaptation and resistance.
In this context, the story reveals its Second Life, a B-side that confronts a judgemental society on those who think differently. It is by hiding their identity that the writers observe the daily routines from a whole new perspective and transform transgression into an act of authenticity that challenges the norm.
‘Adversity means defiance which translates into a deeper meaning of life. Even if it causes pain at times, it is essential that we cultivate hope and trust in our ambitions. Graffiti, more specifically train graffiti, means much more than aesthetics; it is a way of living and a passion that motivates us to achieve our goals, even if they may seem unreachable. It acts not only as an incentive for creativity but also works as a vehicle of resistance and expression day after day, fight after fight. Every intervention on the trains leaves a meaningful mark and symbolises a personal and collective journey in search for recognition and authenticity.’

‘Füu di Frei’ represents the beginning of a unique project that combines videography and photography and that turns it into a creative dialogue never seen before. The audience now has the chance to get to the heart of the narrative through an exclusive book, while the short movie is still under construction to offer the best possible quality. This format serves as a prelude that makes it possible to explore the story in depth and appreciate details that enrich the narrative. First, the book; then, the short movie, which will transform the audience’s imagination into a moving reality.
The book is not just a complement, but also a key piece of the project, and it is being launched as a limited edition with exceptional editorial and graphic design by Ana Baenas. Her work, which stands out because of her creativity and attention to detail, shows a level of quality that elevates this publication into a unique collectable object. Every piece is exclusive, turning it into a symbol of this creative adventure. Pre-ordering is now open and gives you the opportunity to claim your copy before it sells out.
Throughout the creation of ‘Füu di Frei’, the author has worked with a series of techniques that break the limits of visual narrative. His inseparable Olympus MJU I has been key to capturing the most meaningful moments of the process, turning the duality of approaches into a rich and multifaceted experience.
This project not only aims to tell a story but also to connect with an audience that knows how to appreciate art, audiovisual narrative and exclusive design. By supporting this project you’ll be part of its production and contributing to something that redefines how multiple formats manage to coexist to tell a story.
