A neutral space.
A man dressed in white.
A voiceover notes that God has not come to save.
All other is guesswork.

With this suggestive introduction Gerard Calderon presents Fervor a video installation, his first season of the series God has never come to save us. Working on a compendium of images as a videographic collage, the viewer is who gives meaning to the story. The viewer creates meaning according to cultural competence acquired.

Fervor appropriates images from the net, made by the public of religious ceremonies, faithful to portray the way they feel and practice their religion, and then share online. They put their hopes in a collective rituals that are part of a theatrical spectacle in which faith is the only that can give credit to the act. Gerard Calderon gives us the ingredients, each one create the meaning. The presence or absence of faith is one that weaves the story to create situations that can be uncomfortable.

The protagonist of the video looks at the camera, at the viewer, call your attention to the action that happens on him. Not participate actively, but blend with the image becomes part of a scene as unreal. The voiceover notes the action and creates a tension that everyone can solve in their own way.
