Claudia Pagès Rabal. En ese momento ya habré estado en el mundo

Claudia Pagès Rabal presents, as part of the third edition of the cycle The Chairs of Tàpies, in the Reflection Room designed by Antoni Tàpies himself at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, a photo/light installation featuring a recital of a text setting out from Tàpies’s reflections concerning walls, doors, graffiti and inscriptions.

Based on the use of gobos, traditionally used in theatre to create textures and atmospheres but with a growing presence in public spaces to project shop logos onto the pavement, Pagès shifts our perspective on the space to an overhead view. This shift is articulated through the future perfect in the title, a verb tense in which the action has already been completed in the future from which it is expressed. Thus, the piece constructs a time in suspension, a space to imagine from a present immersed in a crisis that is also of the imagination.

Series “The Chairs of Tàpies” are curated by Judith Barnés
