FOD's Geometric Intervention at Palermo's Cervantes Institute

Spanish artist FOD has created a site-specific installation at the Church of Santa Eulalia de los Catalanes in Palermo, organized by the Instituto Cervantes de Palermo and running until May 27, 2026. The work explores geometry, architecture, and symmetry through sculpture and spatial occupation, drawing inspiration from Baroque floor patterns in Palermo's temples and palaces. The intervention aims to establish a formal, symbolic, and material dialogue with the historic church, blending constructed and imagined spaces. FOD's practice focuses on the relationship between architecture, line, and abstraction, presenting painting and sculpture as tools for generating invented or dreamed architectures. The project is conceived as a journey toward primal forms of construction, reflecting the human impulse to create instinctive, abstract, and essential shelters.
