Born

Sculptor Jaume Plensa
Materials: Cast iron incorporating a stone bench
Inauguration: July 21, 1992

Jaume Plensa is the Catalan contribution to the "urban configurations" with this work consisting of balls, letters and a trunk, which come to remember the past of the Born as a land of medieval jousting and market. One of the balls is on the stairs of the church of Santa María del Mar. The idea of the trunk is present in a sentence of Plensa: "Fill your chest like a trunk and breathe".
