RELEVANCE TO PALMA 2031
AERONAUTICA is conceived within the cultural conditions that Palma 2031 seeks to articulate: the relationship between place, community, and contemporary artistic production. The project operates at the intersection of local specificity and international visibility, positioning Mallorca not as a setting but as an active contributor to the work’s meaning.
The series engages directly with the island’s cultural fabric — its maritime traditions, pastoral environments, architectural heritage, and the continuity of daily life shaped by these elements. By constructing scenes within real locations and working with local participants, the project reflects how contemporary artistic practice can emerge from existing cultural ecosystems rather than being imposed upon them.
Production draws on Mallorca’s creative infrastructure, including performers, craftspeople, technical collaborators, and production networks. This process situates the work within a living cultural context and reinforces the exchange between artistic experimentation and local knowledge.
Presented at architectural scale, the images create forms of public visibility that extend beyond conventional exhibition formats.
Actors and models from Mallorca
Installations within Palma’s cultural venues or urban environments allow residents and visitors to encounter familiar landscapes reframed through artistic interpretation, encouraging reflection on place, identity, and shared experience.
The inclusion of a constructed vessel or other elements as physical objects further strengthens this dialogue between image, material, and audience.
As a first chapter, Phase 1 establishes a foundation that can evolve alongside Palma 2031’s broader cultural narrative. The project offers a model of production that is collaborative, place-responsive, and capable of traveling beyond the island while retaining its origin.
In this context, AERONAUTICA contributes to Palma 2031 by demonstrating how artistic work rooted in local conditions can generate broader cultural resonance — carrying the island’s landscapes, traditions, and participants into contemporary visual discourse across Europe.
