This new exhibition by Bernardí Roig (Palma, 1965) at Max Estrella is an attemp to relief the excess of soot in the walls, overcrowded with images with nothing to see. But not only those images are tired, the eye is worn out, and the walls exhausted. Even light doesn't shine from above, now it's at ground level, and its not affirmative anymore.
'Deshollinar los muros (Sweeping the walls)' is, among other things, an exhibition of drawings on the floor. Walls, once being swept, can only be used to be scratched or penetrated. The gallery becomes an empty whiteness saturated space that speaks about the iris fatigue and the visual sclerosis. This is caused by transparency of the shadowless technological present. This is amnesic temporality is crushed by the excess of reality. Walls are more beautiful when there’s nothing on them, just white on white.
