Matís de Cels

The “Matís de Cels” project, located in the courtyard of the Convent of La Puríssima, suggests an immersion of the visitor in an atmosphere of experimentation with the blue colour. The idea arose from the understanding of the architecture of the courtyard as an enclosure of introversion and, at the same time, a window for the contemplation of the infinity of the sky. The installation will generate several windows of light through which each person will look at the sky and have their subjective interpretation of the shades of blue visible through the days.
