from the catalog of the show: Jaume Pitarch. La práctica possibilitat del dejuni, 2017: 'If the series that this work forms part of has an ontological nature, the location of the raw material (these discarded pieces of furniture, gathered from the streets) draws a map of the neighborhoods subjected to gentrification processes in cities where the artist has lived, politicizing it (and here the root polis acquires its full meaning). As we see, then, the work addresses the question of adaptation to the environment, focusing on the human waste involved in this process.This explains the artist's use of waste materials produced and dumped by people as a metaphor for people themselves, and the manipulation of objects that end up referring to themselves, unable to achieve transcendence.'
