Ed Sheeran is an unconditional fan of the city of Barcelona: he even has the Sagrada Família tattooed on his arm. It’s a shame that the song he dedicates to the city doesn’t have an official music video. Therefore, I propose a music video for Ed Sheeran’s song “Barcelona”, made up of a series of videos showing seagulls devouring pigeons on the streets of the Catalan capital. The singer has not officially approved the video yet.

Since every reflection distorts reality—even the most reliable mirror produces a reversed version—I explored a distorted image of Barcelona. This music video is one of the results. In the song “Barcelona”, Ed Sheeran encourages us to drink sangria and dance in front of the basilica, but he omits the image of the other Barcelona: the one with seagulls devouring pigeons. The proposed video consists of clips recorded by 17 tourists who, possibly first attracted by the fantasy projected by the pop artist, left with a grotesque souvenir of the city and uploaded the videos to YouTube.
