In 2022, 44 years will have passed since the Spanish Constitution marked the return of Democracy after the dictatorship. With Quimera, Alán Carrasco questions the unimpeachable character traditionally assigned to this democratic process. To do this, the artist poses the anniversary of the constitutional text in an ironic key: the piece morphs from the actual geopolitical map of Spain into a perfect circumference that symbolizes the solidity of the official discourses that seek to avoid any debate on this founding text.
