Llum Natura Est
Llum, Natura Centrum Est, by Marcel·lí Antúnez Roca, occupies Tinglado 2 at the Moll de Costa as a provisional, walkable and transformable camp that places nature at the center of the narrative. The installation brings together backdrops, drawings, figures, costumes and other objects that have been created since 2014 through collaborative actions in public and community spaces, articulating them into an open device that requires participation in order to fully unfold.
The project points to the need to reverse a perspective that has expelled nature from the cultural and political sphere. Here, animals, plants, materials and territories are not scenery but active subjects of a shared imaginary. Among large drawings that open like windows and structures that invite visitors to walk through them, the exhibition proposes an experience that understands creation as a collective practice and nature as a space of resistance, learning and shared imagination.
A co-production between Mèdol and Port de Tarragona.
