Project Location Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau. Barcelona
Entry Description

“Miralls” is an ephemeral light installation located in the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau (Barcelona), UNESCO World Heritage Site and Place of Cultural Interest.

“Miralls” presents a multiplied reality of the vaulted space of the Sant Pau Hospital, transforming the space through the interplay of lights and reflections. The installation of a horizontal reflective surface creates the sensation of weightlessness above the vaults, giving a thrilling sensation of floatability. The combination with similarly reflective vertical planes enhances the concept, transforming it into an infinite, levitating space.

This establishes a continuous interaction between users, the work and the building itself, making viewers interact with the space, and turning them into an active part of the work: their position within it, their movements, the lights, their reflections, their actions… progressively generate and create different dreamlike interior worlds.
