Canchas is an anthropological, social and cultural project, which combines multimedia and local stories to describe ‘spontaneous soccer fields and their human side’ around the world. It is a project to find a new medium of meeting and exchange. The spontaneous soccer field (in Spanish cancha) serves world-wide as a starting point around both unbelievable and every-day stories. Canchas are the center of human stories and the personalities around the spontaneous soccer fields, most of them far away from famous players and the big arenas. It concerns canchas with trees, with abysses, in the water, on the mountain, in the desert and on ice, with camels, cars, inside factories and on skyscrapers. Canchas is the joy and emotion of the people, who are in touch with football fields. It is an hommage to those fields and the daily life surrounding them.
