Opening at 7 pm on 24 May
Movie screening at 7,30pm
On the occasion of Mashrabia Gallery’s 25th anniversary, Xavier Puigmartí exhibits his latest, unreleased body of work within a retrospective exhibition including previous pieces.
In 2014 Puigmartí realized the movie The Odyssey. Freely adapted from Homer’s poem, the movie is based on the translation of Catalan poet Carles Riba.
Puigmartì chose not to use any computer animation program, thus preferring a craft, puppetry resembling movie. He has drawn and cut the characters from paper, and manually move them in the natural environment creating a fairy story telling atmosphere.
