Fermín Jiménez Landa's 'Escarcha y vaho' at Casal Solleric

Fermín Jiménez Landa's exhibition 'Escarcha y vaho' is on view at Casal Solleric's L'Aljub room in Palma until September 6, curated by Juan Luis Toboso. The show explores the artist's long-standing interest in how everyday actions alter our relationship with the environment. Jiménez Landa (Pamplona, 1979) works across drawing, photography, video, writing, installation, object, and performance, building his practice from observation, association, and experimentation with seemingly insignificant situations. The exhibition uses water and its state changes as a guiding thread, addressing memory, time, circulation, and the fragility of certainty. Key works include sending a small ice block from Venice to Rotterdam via a complex logistics chain, and a sandcastle piece examining the provisional nature of human constructions. Humor and irony are central to his practice, subtly shifting expectations. The selection emphasizes conceptual affinities over chronology, bringing together works on landscape, architecture, circulation systems, perception, and social uses of objects.
