In _2B SPACE TO BE, directed by the architecture studio MONEO BROCK, a new exhibition by the artist Daniel Canogar called 'Ráfagas' is presented. It is a reflexion about the weight of the word in the protection of the human species in which, in the form of a metaphor, words from various environmental documents are distorted.

Daniel Canogar presents ‘Ráfagas’ at _2B SPACE TO BE, exhibition space associated with the architecture and design studio MONEO BROCK, with the collaboration of Galería Max Estrella.

Four recent international documents on the environment - the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, the Montreal Protocol and the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit - have received serious setbacks in recent months. The political winds of the moment favor isolationist nationalisms that render inviable the necessary global effort to solve what is clearly one of the greatest challenges of our time: climate change. ‘Ráfagas’ excerpts the texts of the four environmental documents mentioned above and distorts them according to the winds occurring in the cities where they were signed. Connected to the internet, the four screens show in real time the words from these texts being transformed by the winds. ‘Ráfagas’ is a political metaphor that explores how the weight of the words, and the laws that sustain them, are fundamental for the protection of the human species, and of the planet.
