Simon head office car park - Almogàvers, 142
Simon returns to the Llum BCN Festival with the audiovisual work Trànsit, an innovative piece that transforms the space into an urban landscape featuring light and sound. The work explores the concept of traffic as a space in constant transformation, while playing with the figurative literalness of traffic using the traffic light as the central element structuring the whole work.
In this first collaboration between Studio Animal and Cabosanroque, the artists create an immersive experience that invites the viewer to dive into a dialogue between movement and stillness, between flow and pause. The chosen space, an industrial warehouse belonging to Simon and next to its new 22@ corporate headquarters, provides the ideal setting for this exploration in light and sound. The installation, produced by Simon, thus becomes a space for reflecting on the constant movement of the city and the numerous ways this can be interpreted, where each element goes towards creating an experience that transcends simple observation.
Based in Madrid and Barcelona and directed by Javier Jiménez Iniesta, Studio Animal specialises in interior design and ephemeral architecture, combining professional teaching activity with academic research. Their work focusses on redefining the spaces and atmospheres inhabited by the contemporary subject, seeking a super-optimistic future. They have received the 2023 and 2024 FAD Awards, the ROOM 2024 Award and the 2024 FRAME Award.
Cabosanroque, made up of Laia Torrents Carulla and Roger Aixut Sampietro, explore sound and its performance capabilities. With a background in music, industrial engineering and architecture, their work questions exhibition spaces and formats and uses technology as a research tool. They have exhibited internationally in spaces such as the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the CCCB in Barcelona and the Théâtre Garonne in Tolouse.
