Diamond Matrix

As humans, we undergo great pressures. Yet socially, failing is not accepted. Diamonds, made of carbon, go through incredible stress, to emerge as shining jewels and one of the strongest materials on earth. So can you. This installation of hundreds of light-up diamonds expresses that we participate in a bigger picture, sharing more similarities than differences. Life is messy and hard, but it makes us stronger.

Who are the diamonds in your life?

Kaleidoscope

Around the planet, the kaleidoscope is a toy with a wonderful lens and no cultural filter. A treasured toy that encourages you to look into a world of patterns and imagination. Studio Irma likes to play with contrast, both big and small, zooming in and out. No longer are we a spectator, but an inhabitant. This transportive installation takes us back to a place of curiosity, to imagine and wonder about endless possibilities.

Bubbles

Every bubble is its own unique universe of information – formed by society, specific tastes, and shared ideas. By surrounding yourself with what you know – creating patterns and routines – you live in a comfort zone. But in order to connect – shall we dance from bubble to bubble?

Connect the Dots & Universe

In the galaxy, everything is made up of the same particle matter. This installation is a cosmic dance. A couple of constellations move in harmony through the starry sky, and they’re connected. As part of a fundamental system, we are all invited to join the dots.

Media Reviews

    Barcelona's Moco Museum is a riot–of colors, of styles, of pushing artistic boundaries. Mainly, of joy.
  • The New Barcelona Post
    An internationally successful museum arrives in Barcelona: the Moco Museum.
  • TripAdvisor
    The museum is well structured and organized, the works are interesting and, certainly, offers a different note than the usual Gaudi and Picasso etc.

“Art is like a bonfire. It is where the storytelling begins: projections, feelings, conversations, connections. We sing together. We dance together. The bonfire is a movement and an artwork. You are invited.”
