Jugar amb foc

Museu Terra, in L'Espluga de Francolí (Tarragona), inaugurates a new exhibition dedicated to fire. Scientific contributions, popular knowledge, and works of art converge to reflect on this element: its uses, dangers, forms of prevention, and, above all, its role in the current climate crisis.

Núria Vila, a sustainability-focused designer, is the author of one of the exhibition installations, as well as the design and signage. Using ink prepared from remnants of a real fire in Ribera d’Ebre, it is necessary to hand-paint all the exhibition texts and part of the immersive tunnel installation.

It took three days to handwrite all the texts. First, they were projected onto the wall, the outlines were marked with a pencil, and finally, they were filled in with ash ink using a brush.
