By way of archival footage, recent material and interviews, the video proposal on Ricardo Bofill’s Walden7 –a massive social housing building and a radical architectural project on the outskirts of Barcelona–, wants to review its journey between the initial project outline and its current status.
The compilation of the different testimonies is structured around the core conversation with the architect’s sister and co-author of the project Anna Bofill, herself an architect, as well as a feminist activist and co-founder of the Architecture Workshop. She has been living in the building for the past 30 years, thus, identifying with the project through to the end.
Co-finances with funds from the Creative Europe Program and the project A-PLACE. Linking places through networked artistic practices.
Visual artist. Taking as his point of departure conceptual processes of reflection, Domènec has built up a sculptural and videographic body of work, along with installations and interventions in public space, which takes the architectural project as one of the most productive and complex imaginary constructions of the modern tradition.
He has taken part in several projects In Situ and exhibitions in different places like Ireland, Mexico, Belgium, France, Italy, USA, Brazil, Argentine, Finland, Slovenia, Japan, India, Philippines, Israel and Palestine.
In 2018, MACBA (Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona) produced a large solo exhibition of Domènec that offered a retrospective of his work from the late nineties to the present.
He is a co-editor of the art magazine Roulotte.
