Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

Manifesta 15 Barcelona took place in Barcelona and 11 surrounding cities ot its metropolitan region.

Jordi Colomer, ES

Jordi Colomer worked as a set designer before he became an artist and was educated as an architect and art historian, experiences that still influence his work today. Using props and treating land- and cityscapes as scenery, he creates “a kind of expanded theater,” in which the visitors are confronted with their own roles as participants or spectators. Through video works as well as sculptural and performative interventions, he deals with urbanity and social spaces.
