Eating Carles Hacmor
Central Market of Tarragona

The proposal is to transform conflict into a space where consensus is suspended, revealing common grounds in a symbolic space. It’s about acting as intruders, pushing the boundaries to go beyond. With a wooden pedestal and uninvited companions, the journey of Carles Hacmor (who had recently passed away) becomes an intestinal and irrational experience, reaffirming itself in the anthropopolitics of cultural cannibalism: eating life, bodies, and poetry. This action can be understood through Michel Foucault's theory of cultural performativity, which analyzes how social acts can transform reality, as well as their influence on power structures¹⁷.
