Beauty can teach us to look differently at the most everyday elements, such as the simple esparto grass. The usual whiteness of the courtyard of the Palacio de Orive has become a metamorphosis of colour that makes us doubt what we see. Metamorphosis of colour that makes us doubt what we see.

Who are these creatures we sense through the mysterious filter? We sense them through the mysterious filter: traces of a landscape? Or masses of plants transmuted into animals? With Ovid’s Metamorphoses in memory, KOKON invites the public to let themselves be guided by a mixture of intuition, confusion and curiosity to understand this new and ephemeral architecture.
