Description
All Icebergs Are Black
Book Summary
This volume accompanies the exhibition of the same name dedicated to the complex universe of artist Bernardí Roig. The work offers an in-depth analysis of his creative process, focusing on the decoding of his audiovisual production. Through a scenographic layout that functions as an initiatory journey, the reader will discover how drawing is the origin of all the artist's visual constructions, and how his images solidify into movement on the surface of video art. An essential investigation for understanding the guiding lines of Roig's work.
What is it about?
The book presents an exhaustive investigation into the work of artist Bernardí Roig, with a primary focus on his audiovisual work. The publication is not a simple catalog, but a guide to decoding the creator's complex imagery. Through an exhibition staging, an initiatory journey is reconstructed where the viewer moves between the appropriation and recreation of images and visual constructions. The central thesis is that Roig's video art acts as the surface where the fundamental lines of his creative process—the origin of which is invariably drawing—materialize and come to life.
