'What was Domènec’s intervention in the Barcelona Pavilion about? It consisted of two changes: the Barcelona Chair – in reality a throne – was replaced by a pair of tubular steel and Formica chairs; and the black carpet and red drapes were substituted by clothes pegged up on lines. Domènec thus evoked the laundry hanging out to dry that always appears in photographs of the shacks that for decades filled the areas of Montjuïc left free by the 1929 International Exhibition after it closed –and even before– and of the buildings left standing used by the authorities –papal, uniformed or civilian– as “temporary housing” –perpetually temporary– for immigrants and all kinds of outcasts.'

Juan José Lahuerta
