Floquet: Revisitar una icona

Floquet de Neu (Nfumu Ngui) was an albino gorilla from Equatorial Guinea who became a symbol of Barcelona. Through the intervention of archive images and the use of materials such as glass or paraffin, present in the animal's biography, the project refers to its colonial origin and to the instrumentalisation that raised it to a key figure in the popular imagination of the city. The artist explores the political constructions, the interests of power and the forgetting surrounding the figure of Floquet, and pays it a final visit to distance herself from the friendly and nostalgic image that he himself swallowed during his childhood.
