House of the Sun An immersive installation by Pedro Torres

House of the Sun, an installation by Pedro Torres produced in 2020, can now be seen as part of the MACBA Collection exhibition. This is how the artist describes it: ‘House of the Sun reflects on our relationship with the sun, as a species and as a planet that is part of a system, by addressing concepts such as distance, movement and time cycles (ours and those of the sun) from a physical, but also emotional and philosophical perspective. It is a reflection on our relationship with this star without whose radiation life would be impossible. A reflection on our past, present and future in terms of sustainability and survival, seeing it as a source of energy for our existence, but also as the possible cause of our destruction. A relationship that is also visual: while we need the sun to see, we risk being burnt and blinded by it.’
