Yoyo Balagué
Paseo de Gracia, 96

During September and October, the main hall of the Massimo Dutti store on Paseo de Gracia hosts a temporary exhibition by Yoyo Balagué. Her pieces, rich in sensory and poetic value, engage in dialogue with the architecture of the space, transforming it into a sensory stage where matter and light interact. An invitation to pause, contemplate, and be carried away by the poetry of the ephemeral.
