Miquel Falgàs

Falgàs, who is originally from the world of graffiti and urban art, talks on what this movement means in its most fundamental form as well as in its most contentious implications and the need for each person to be able to document their journey by arriving in the city.
It is simple to locate painted walls and the rest of the furniture in the public space when traveling through any metropolitan center. We discover in these acts the last connection between contemporary art and cave painting, a way of defending oneself as individuals in an impersonal, fluid, and constantly changing society, a representation of the self democratized by the influence of the digital age and social networks as dumping grounds and generators of content saturation. This is in addition to the magical/religious meaning and its communicative intention. A piece where we must enter and move between gesture, stain, mark, and trace fossils, like in archeology, where the adhesion obtained from the image bears witness to this time.
