Jaume Plensa inaugurated on September 19 his new installation titled “Mirall” at the emblematic Llotja de Palma de Mallorca, a civil Gothic architecture temple that serves as a backdrop for two monumental sculptures: “Invisible Laura” and “Invisible Rui Rui.” These two impressive hanging heads, made of fine metallic structures, will be on display until February 15, 2025, offering a unique opportunity for art and culture lovers in Palma.

A Silent Dialogue

The protagonists of “Mirall,” “Invisible Laura” and “Invisible Rui Rui,” float suspended in the air, as if defying gravity. These sculptures face each other in a silent dialogue, an invitation to introspection and the contemplation of silence. With their fingers on their lips, both figures evoke stillness amidst the bustle of the modern world, creating a space of pause and reflection.

The Llotja de Palma de Mallorca is an ideal setting. This majestic civil Gothic building, a symbol of Mallorca’s history, enhances the serenity of the work, integrating almost spiritually with the forms and shadows of the sculptures.

Jaume Plensa’s Signature Style

The installation reflects Plensa’s signature style, known for creating works that explore themes like communication, humanity, and silence. With “Mirall,” the artist has encapsulated the essence of introspection in two forms that invite the viewer to a moment of pause.
