Fabŭla

In 2023, the Edelman Trust Barometer ranked Spain among the most polarised countries in the world. This polarisation has also reached the Congress of Deputies, where the theatricalisation of certain interventions heightens tension. Gradually, the chamber has come to resemble a performative space in which gesture and decontextualised objects assume a central role.

In this context, Fabŭla reflects on the contribution of contemporary politics to the deepening of social division. Each image is constructed from 6,006 frames drawn from the corresponding plenary session. From a distance, the staging becomes visible; at close range, the individual frames that contextualise that moment are revealed. The result is a mosaic that functions as an allegory of social fragmentation.
