Five giant balls will invade the center of the city on June 2 with the objective that pedestrians have fun and smile thanks to the Cartagena activity in balls, which raises the claim of a cleaner, sustainable, egalitarian, recreational and participatory

There will be two tours: one in the morning, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and another in the afternoon, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The locations through which they will pass will be the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Calle del Cañón, Calle del Aire, Plaza San Sebastián, Puertas de Murcia, Calle del Carmen to Plaza de España.

This initiative, carried out by Albert Gusi i Las, takes place for the first time in Cartagena, after having invaded other cities of the peninsula such as Mataró and Manresa (Barcelona), El Carpio (Córdoba) and Ochagavía (Navarra).

Under the motto this year's Mucho Más Mayo festival, "Interdependent, Ecodependent," Cartagena is proposed in balls, an ephemeral activity through the streets of Cartagena where citizens of all ages invade the space for a moment.

ALBERT GUSI

Albert Gusi (Castellbisbal, 1970) is a visual artist who works from the territory.

Territory, action and documentary photographic record are some of the notions that make up his look.

An artist who develops a project that, most times, are strategic incursions on the landscape, both natural and urban.

The real actor of his work is the most immediate natural environment, the territory of his country to which he feels strongly linked.

Through observation, poetry and humor, the Gusi speaks of the fragility of the landscape and its constant transformation, and proposes another way of looking at it, with a complicity of struggle through an ephemeral action that brings us closer to an art in process, lived and shared.

He has participated in festivals, exhibitions, conferences, masters and other events related to photography, art and landscape.

Currently, he directs Grisart International School of Photography in Barcelona, ​​he is co-director of Panoràmic, a film and photography festival together with Joan Fontcuberta, Fidel Balaguer and Jesús Vilamajó.
