The artwork Maravillas (fragment) forms part of the exhibition “Jordi Colomer. Façana Foto Festa Futur Fideus”, on display at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) from 8 May to 24 September 2024. The artwork is displayed in the museum’s atrium.
The exhibition offers an all-encompassing tour of the work of Jordi Colomer from the late 1980s to today, through multiple formats: sculpture, collage, photography, video, installations and performance art.
In Maravillas (fragment), an illuminated sign leaning against the wall suggests a situation of absolute openness: it is a space under construction and deconstruction, one that is, in any event, unfinished and hence a space that is as real (a set) as it is fictitious, as is hinted at by the illuminated word on the sign itself.
