ORIOL
RIUS - Barcelona
This exhibition focuses on my work The Wall, also entitled Utopia II, as it is a variant of my work Utopia builded on the Parc de la Vila in Barcelona-Esparreguera (oriolrius.net ). See a power point presentation of it.
The Wall shares with Utopia of the Parc de la Vila the effect
of the prospect, so that in a distance of 25 meter it makes us the impression
of attaining the utopian quadrature of the circle.
The
Wall wants to be a homage to those suffering the brutality of a wall that
splits there daily life, sorts out them from family and friends and shatters
its earth, as now in Palestine, or in years past in Germany, during the
almost eternal postwar period.
The wall is also a claim against the fences protecting
the "gated communities" of Brazil, Chile, Florida..., and also
Spain.
The
Wall is, at the same time, a reflection that goes beyond the obstacles
created by the man.
What's behind there? This is the question.
