Type: Installation

Audience: All ages

The installation compares the figure of the rubbish container with the collective imaginary of the household to put together a discourse on furniture recycling as a method of subsistence among Barcelona citizens. Which is why numerous containers with open lids reveal an interior decorated as different rooms, which show the irony of finding household components instead of their rubbish.

“Light and shadow are always linked, but what if we freed our shadows? And what if we provided them with the space to do whatever they cannot physically do?”. This is the project's starting point. Inspired by the idea of freeing light and shadows. Making shadows play in favour of expressing light and being able to find a sign of hope and happiness in such play, but above all a space for expressing oneself without fear.
