Raw clay pieces in various sizes.
The publication 1+1=3 was also produced, with a print run of 100 copies.
Description of the work
Series of pieces made from raw clay, their surfaces marked impressions made by contact on one or more side. These contacts were made in different parts of the city of Barcelona, particularly the Gothic Quarter, reproducing forms, traces, wounds from different periods in history that came into contact with other elements apparently far apart but brought together in the piece.
The result are works that illustrate different volumes in the city, suggesting an event or issue that is now brought into contact with some other element, distant from it in time or space.
