About Victor Ruiz Colomer
Víctor Ruiz Colomer's sculptures come into being via participatory and collaborative processes rooted in self-management. His ideas are translated via tangible forms that embody "winless games"—an approach valuing intuition and improvisation over immediate results. By leveraging mechanisms that both inhabit and reshape spaces, Colomer's creations set the stage for participants to intervene, invoking their innate creativity. Navigating the threshold where sculpture transitions into performance, and where said performance adapts to human influences, environmental conditions, and available assets, his art delves into the playful and integrative facets of artistic endeavors. Colomer's works encompass a myriad of topics, from horticulture and education to energy policies. He aims to produce a series of sculptures that simultaneously function as tools and results. These artworks, representing diverse physical states, can impact the infrastructure of their environment when engaged with. Furthermore, he offers a critical analysis of the use and importance of public space.
