Buit / Ple
Their installation for the festival aims to transport the natural and agricultural universe of the river Ebro to an urban and orderly space in the city of Tortosa. The use of natural light and everyday elements, such as the cane, leads to the creation – due to their repetition – of a dense space, which is fragile and changing at the same time.
Contrary to the idea of the perimeter porches of the slaughterhouse, their proposal occupies the courtyard and takes over the void. The aim is to create a new landscape that offers cross-views between the inside and the outside of the installation.
