Inside a mirrored cube there are nearly one hundred cases of the spreading of ideas and images in Spain being banned or censored. In line with their clandestine status, these images literally flee from the spectator’s gaze. The installation proposes an interactive challenge: today, banned images are like the mythological Medusa, with the public confronting them like Perseus. This involves entering into the cube alone.
In parallel, an audio track in the room plays the answers 26 musicians gave to the question: “Can you sing something that can’t be sung in Spain?” These artists are Albert Pla, Alicia Ramos, Bea Pelea, Christina Rosenvinge, Ebri Knight, Fermín Muguruza, Gran Wyoming, Kiko Veneno, La Basu, La Santa K, Lichis, Mafalda, Maria Arnal, María Marín, Maria Rodés, Mariachis de la Nada, Nacho Vegas, Orquestra Fireluche, Pau Riba, Refree, Rocío Márquez, Santi Balmes, Sey Sisters, Soleá Morente, Tomasito, and Tulsa.
