On the night of October 28, La Pedrera became a space of revelation. Inside, art, cinema, and architecture intertwined during the presentation of From Roots and Shadows, the new documentary by David Trueba that draws us into the creative universe of Cristina Iglesias—one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary sculpture.
After an intimate dialogue between artist and filmmaker, the audience immersed itself in the film, which takes us to the heart of Iglesias’s studio: a place where matter comes to life, water becomes language, and shadow is also a form of light. The camera observes without intrusion, allowing the creative process to unfold with the naturalness of something being born.
In parallel, Passages—her exhibition at La Pedrera, open until January 25, 2026—transforms Gaudí’s building into a sensory labyrinth of roots, reflections, and liquid murmurs. More than thirty works trace three decades of exploration, in which sculpture expands to become space, breath, and suspended time.
The experience as a whole invites one to pause, to look, to listen. To watch the documentary, wander through the exhibition, and take part in the activities orbiting around it—talks, music, encounters. Everything leads to the same place: that threshold where art and life blur into one another.
For in La Pedrera, guided by Cristina Iglesias, matter breathes, silence resonates, and the visitor becomes part of the work itself.
