It was in January 2001 when everything changed. The MACBA was hosting an exhibition by the artist Tacita Dean, and while her work fascinated me, what captivated me even more was the banner announcing the exhibition. It was stunning! So much so that I did everything I could to get one. But in the process, I made an unexpected discovery: all the banners hung across the city were thrown straight into the landfill. Nothing was recycled!

When I finally had one in my hands, I started exploring its creative possibilities—the texture, the dur ability, the colors… A whole new world opened up before me!

With this enthusiasm, I created a collection of pieces made from banners and presented it at La Santa Projectes Culturals, within the 3rd Edition of BAC (Barcelona Art Contemporani). I designed a bib, an apron, a bag, and even the uniform for the staff of a fictional museum, with pieces that would change depending on the exhibition on display.

The project was selected and exhibited in the shop windows of the iconic Vinçon store, on Passeig de Gràcia. Seeing my work displayed in such a prestigious space was an indescribable experience.
