…in Santa Coloma, Mateo will speak of a “sordid, underbuilt and shattered periphery”. So it is not strange that his response is a “single gesture, and monumentalization”: an object, the Institute, which arrogates to itself a tremendous formal responsability as an element of a contrast in a place which is still not valued as the container of positive values”
