The exhibition offers an extensive overview of the work of Jordi Colomer from the late eighties to the present through multiple formats: sculptures, collages, installations, photography, video and live performances. Most of the works are productions carried out in specific contexts in cities around the world. Some test the porosity of the museum, with what is happening inside the galleries often reverberating outside and returning with new contributions.
The exhibition presents an approach to Colomer’s work based on its scenographic dimension, where the illusory and the real come together in a continuous back-and-forth. In the impurity of theatricality, fiction acquires a real dimension through the actions of its characters and the materiality of its staging. Through this ambivalence, fabulation becomes political by affirming that we can discuss collective life while it is imagined and simultaneously realised, as if it were an authentic prefiguration; that modality of direct action that tests possibilities in real time and in specific places.
