Miralls. Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau de Barcelona. 2017.
“Miralls” is
an environmental installation located in
the Recinte
Modernista de Sant Pau (Barcelona), UNESCO World Heritage Site
and Place of Cultural Interest. The installation was located in the
pavilion Antic Convent. That space was open for the first time to the public to
welcome anyone who wants to experience the fabulous space from another point of
view.
“Miralls” presents a multiplied reality of the vaulted space of
the Sant Pau Hospital, transforming the space through the interplay of
reflections.The installation of a horizontal reflective surface creates the
sensation of weightlessness above the vaults, giving a thrilling sensation of
floatability. The combination with similarly reflective vertical planes
enhances the concept, transforming it into an infinite, levitating space.
This establishes a continuous interaction between users, the work and the
building itself, making viewers interact with the space, and turning them into
an active part of the work: their position within it, their movements, their
reflections, their actions… progressively generate and create different
dreamlike interior worlds.
