mots de calç i sal

(words of lime and salt)

This work aims to create a timeless space halfway between the poetics of the Balearic landscape and the reality hidden in the karst system of the Pla de l'Estany. It enhances the anecdote as a generator of legends; as a revulsion to convey poetic communication through various formats. And it explores the possibilities of word transmission in the five facilities of this project. From a reading of Balearic poetry from different periods and authors, I begin a more exhaustive search of the landscape references they contain. I select some aspects and transport them in comparison to my environment, of fresh and calcium water, of Banyoles. From this are born five installations that have letters, words and poetry as the first layer of reading, and, in a second layer, the differentiating features of the two landscapes from natural materials that could be shared, and actions on the landscape collected in a video piece. Part of this process is reflected in the book of poems Mots de calç i sal, with photographs by Sergi Batlle, which I wrote in parallel with the plastic work and based on the generating ideas of each of the installations.
