Per Adriano

Per Adriano is a bronze piece representing a human face with perfect proportions and features. This work does not stand directly on the ground but rests on a prism and on another irregular base. The face, not being fully developed and lacking pieces, produces the effect of being unfinished, but at the same time the façade of the building immediately behind it, the Guimerá Theatre, is introduced into these gaps. This face could have different interpretations due to the addition of backdrops – offered by its possible changes of location. However, its current location is perfectly in line with the relationship between the staging and the place where it takes place, the theatres.
