Frederic Melies begins his review by saying, “While walking with a friend along Paseo del Born de Ciutat, we noticed a screen with a cement base that suggested to us, at first, some new signage or promotional item on which, later, a moving image showed the female figure formed by LED Lamps We had hoped it would end up indicating some reference, direction or price. This was not the case. It was a sculpture by the British artist Julian Urby (London, 1958) included in the recently opened exhibition at the initiative of the Balearic City Council and the government.
