Ciro Najle and Josep Ferrando’s artistic intervention rises on the pavilion’s travertine podium and turns transparency into a boundary. On view until 22 November Transparency is usually read as neutrality, a way of letting things be seen. At the Barcelona Pavilion, a new intervention suggests the opposite. The Fundació Mies van der Rohe presents Pavelló-Laberint (Pavilion-Labyrinth), an artistic project by Ciro Najle and Josep Ferrando, made possible with the collaboration of Cricursa, Duran Barbarà and Simon. Rising over the pavilion’s travertine podium, a labyrinth made entirely of glass activates one of the latent tensions of the original building: transparency as an unsettling limit. The work draws subtle, invisible borders that fuse the weightlessness of the surface with limitless space, turning the site into a liminal experience. A plan that vibrates The geometry of the intervention makes the emblematic original plan vibrate along the route. Shifting reflections and overlapping transparencies accompany visitors, in an environment where every pane of glass sharpens the perception of the boundary between inside and outside. The project invites us to rethink space and redefines transparency, not as neutrality, but as a dense, living and deeply contemporary condition. Practical information Pavilion-Labyrinth by Ciro Najle and Josep Ferrando can be visited from 15 to 22 November 2026, Monday to Sunday, from 10 am to 6 pm, with advance booking through Tiqets. Av. de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia 7, Sants-Montjuïc, 08038 Barcelona.
