Exhibition Shoes by Jaume Canet

Sharp shoes for a homonymous reality

Genuine unlike most others, and with a see-through soul that contrasts with the hardness and opacity of the material he works with. Jaume Canet explains “Everything is made during a quiet fight in the workshop, with wrought iron twisted by fire (…) on the anvil (…), and always with love and passion. Outside, the fight continues. We’ll have to put on our shoes. These shoes. Heavy shoes that drag the past to the present, a fight where absolute freedom is the banner. Will they ever be able to return with less weight? Sharp shoes that cut, defending diversity and broadening the space in deserves in a world that is sometimes obsolete. Shoes that make those who walk in a straight line uncomfortable. Shoes. Shoes. Shoes that leave their print when stomping. As the author exclaims, I am these shoes.
