The installation made on the well-known "horizontal skyscraper" of Barcelona, designed by the well-known architects Manuel de Solà Morales and Rafael Moneo, looks out from the roof of the building towards the busiest avenue in the city, the Diagonal.
The installation of Tresoldi will remain on the roof from December 4, 2018 until January 26, 2019, and will then be partially reinstalled in the large interior spaces.
The installation by Tresoldi is composed of six transparent 5.5 m high volumes, randomly arranged along the edge of the roof, each of the pieces represents a partially face. The artwork by Edoardo Tresoldi uses wire mesh, and the perspective on roof of Barcelona building, to establish a dialogue with the urban passer-by.
The figurative composition shows us the public space as human interactions theater. The overlapping of the wire mesh creates shadows on the shapes of the faces appear to change as you move around the building. Depending on the perspective of the observer, the faces in ‘L I M E S’ are trapped by the light, blending in with sky and the night.
