Type: Installation
Audience: All ages
How many times have you been to an amusement park and had a picture taken with a mascot without thinking about everything that’s behind this?
The mascot is an attraction in itself, the subject of exposure and laughter. It is not just an icon: it also represents the instability of an industry that has had to reinvent and debase itself in order to earn a living. Working under conditions bordering on the inhuman, they must always smile and amuse their exploiters.
This installation does not directly involve light sources but instead uses a reflective material that can make the light from the flashes of spectators who are taking pictures bounce back in a different form.
Students: Míriam Alemany, Quim Algora, Llorenç Corbella, Ivet Duran, Xevi Oró, Josep Pijuan, Mariona Ubia.
Tutors: Xesca Salvà.
