LA IL·LUSFERA
The Il·lusfera or “Illu-beast” is a conceptual entity that allows us to explore the perception of illusion. Inspired by the collective imaginary world of Catalan festive beasts, it is a majestic hybrid creature born of a combination of exotic invasive species in Catalonia.
With its imposing presence, it hypnotises us, challenges us and opens us up to the unexpected. Invasive and capable of engulfing spaces, it invites us to question reality and to confront the illusion as a false depiction. Right in front of our eyes, this friendly beast reminds us that reality can be deceptive and malleable, like an illusion, and that only by questioning it can we discover the true essence of the world around us.
