pubs.rights-statement	Barcelona’s public space is both a world-wide known example of urban successful renewal and contested case of tourism-driven gentrification. This project explored the unresolved tension between the City Hall’s use of the public space as an advertisement of the city and the citizens’ weariness of the spectacularization of their everyday life. ‘Ay Caramelles’ was a intervention that invested its budget hiring citizens —10 Euros an hour— to activate Caramelles square. The community was invited to activate the square for an hour. During the event, documented in the film ‘Ay Caramelles!,’ the participants were required to: (1) repeat in front of the camera the following sentence ”I earned 10 € for activating this public space during an hour” and (2) wonder around the square during 60 minutes doing whatever they felt doing. The film was eventually projected in the square. Its value has been attested by its inclusion in the Festival Eme3 Architectural Market of 2009, an annual international architectural festival and exhibition in Barcelona.	en_US
