Liam Young. Construir mundos: Visionary Exhibition Exploring Speculative Futures

This exhibition showcases the most significant works of Australian creator Liam Young, known for his captivating visions of imaginary worlds. Through large-scale video installations, the exhibition explores fictions that highlight present-day threats and serve as inspiration for addressing them.

The exhibition 'Liam Young. Construir mundos' (Constructing Worlds) delves into the profound impact of technology on society and its role in shaping and redefining urban landscapes. Liam Young, an internationally acclaimed filmmaker and speculative architect, uses his captivating visions of imaginary worlds to explore critical themes such as climate change, interconnectedness, and the challenges of digitalization. His work stems from deep, detailed research, blending design, future studies, and powerful audiovisual narratives. The exhibition features prominent works including 'In the robot skies,' filmed entirely with autonomous drones; 'Where the city can’t see,' offering a glimpse into a near-future city through the perspective of its controlling machines; 'Planet city,' a critical architectural fiction presented as a speculative solution to the climate crisis, informed by research and traditional knowledge; and 'New city,' animations based on global expedition photographs documenting emerging phenomena. Two new works, 'The Great Endeavor' and 'Emissary,' were created specifically for this exhibition, exploring humanity's largest constructive projects to clean the atmosphere and a fictional probe designed for interstellar exploration, respectively. These video installations are presented alongside maquettes, photographs, and costumes, creating immersive narratives that visualize present threats while inspiring mechanisms for their resolution.

The exhibition 'Liam Young. Construir mundos' is free to visit and does not require prior reservation. Guided tours are available Tuesday to Friday at 12:00 and 17:00, and Sundays at 10:00, with prior booking required for these specific tours.
