Grip Face. “Utopía del Lodo, Sashimi de Bruma”

The exhibition is an immersive installation by Grip Face (David Oliver) that reflects on the current global state of war, with a particular focus on the devastating effects of conflict on civilians and children. Without making an explicit statement, the work conveys a clear pacifist and anti-war message through powerful symbolic and visual elements.

The installation consists of twelve suspended sculptures – masks held by thorn ropes – arranged in the shape of the European Union symbol. This configuration is not accidental: it questions Europe’s pacifist identity and its ambiguous role in armed conflicts. The masks, fragmented figures of ambiguous character, evoke silent, spectral presences that can be read as avatars of resistance or as protective amulets.
