Paris-based Catalan artists Miralda, Joan Rabascall and Jaume Xifra, together with French artist Dorothée Selz, explored the idea of festivities and collective celebrations as a form of art and invited Benet Rossell to film the actions. "Noir, mauve et barbe à papa" ["Black, Mauve and Candyfloss"], "Mémorial" ["Memorial"], "Fête en blanc" ["Celebration in White"], "Rituel en quatre couleurs" ["Ritual in Four Colours"] and "Fête de l’école laïque" ["Secular School Celebration"] brought together food, colour, music, celebration, collective participation, symbolism and the transformative experience of ritual. Known collectively as the "Cérémonials", these actions heralded a return to symbolism and secular liturgy. When the Architects’ Association of Barcelona presented the 1974 exhibition "Cerimonials", 1969-1973, critic Alexandre Cirici wrote: “A new kind of art: the art of celebration, an art that brings us to the crossroads between magic, ceremony and ritual rooted in collective memory as cultural archetypes, and to a frontier terrain where the sacred and the profane, religion and paganism, coexist.”
