Frederic Amat, whose ancestors have roots in La Pobla de C\u00e9rvoles and were the creators of the Espasa Encyclopaedia, created \u201cEsclat\u201d [Burst], an installation that wants to dress the stone with light and a splash of ceramic points that merge with the landscape and illuminate the rocks. An intimate tribute to his mother Pilar Noguera Espada, who died five months after giving birth to the artist.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cI came to a bend where I was magnetised by five large rocks and a grotto that, like a large stone tongue, jutted out from the road, inviting me to leave an almost hidden artistic testimony in its cavity, generator of a starlight like a thousand ceramic points. A burst that splashes with reflections and covers the naked stone with light\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI needed to add my singular approach to this place in La Pobla de C\u00e9rvoles, from where one day, in the mid-19th century, my great-grandfather Jos\u00e9 Espasa Anguera emigrated, with his brother Pau, to Barcelona to survive this dry land. In 1858 he found a job delivering editions of novels and stories in fascicles that at that time were in great demand (\u2026) two years later, at the age of twenty-one, he founded the Espasa publishing house that would later edit the first encyclopaedia in the Spanish language: \u201cUniversal European American Encyclopaedia\u201d, known as the \u201cEspasa Encyclopaedia\u2019\u201d.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/h3><\/div>
