Change our mindset
Three artist residencies – the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, and Occitania – invite us to (re)think this connection between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, examining the proximity of the peaks and the sea in a conjunction of time.
Thus opens a dialogue between the raw, primitive, and telluric elements of Cap de Creus, the highly focused temporality of Mallorca’s photographic archives, and the human-scale approach of the rural community of the Vallées des Gaves. This updated interpretation of the landscape becomes a source of creativity and a reminiscence of sensitive values, allowing us to better consider the challenges of the present, beyond the stereotyped and commercial images that often prevent us from understanding it.

Article 10. Tourists, go home
Mass tourism is a problem that affects us on a global scale and, particularly, cities such as Barcelona, which have undergone processes of tertiarization that have redirected the industrial economy towards the service sector, taking advantage of favorable weather conditions. The unregulated expansion of tourism in these contexts is fueling growing discontent among citizens, as evidenced by numerous protests and social movements in recent years calling for a rethinking of this model.

Es una pena que el hormigón no arda It is a provocation, directed not at the material itself, but at the model that has established it as the foundation of an uninhabitable world. Get it here
