My name is Universe
Eugènia Balcells, Jordi Balló, Toni Pou, Maria Muñoz and Eulàlia Bosch
Debate
The artist Eugènia Balcells, the professor and film expert Jordi Balló, the physical journalist and science popularizer Toni Pou and the choreographer and dancer Maria Muñoz talk with the editor Lali Bosch about the links between art, science and humanities after the publication of the book El meu nom és Univers, inspired by the work Homenatge als elements de Balcells.
Who would have thought that a work of art based on a scientific idea could explode like an authentic intellectual Big Bang and drag us on a thrilling journey that takes us from atoms to galaxies, passing through music, philosophy, art, cinema, chemistry, poetry, theater, dance, astrophysics, education, architecture, painting, quantum physics, religion and mathematics? El meu nom és Univers (Actar, 2022) is a book of interviews with internationally renowned personalities through which some of the layers of knowledge included in the Periodic Table, recreated by Eugènia Balcells in the mural Homenatge als elements, are revealed.
In this conversation, Toni Pou, who conducted the interviews for the book, and Jordi Balló and Maria Muñoz, who are some of the authors interviewed, will reflect with Eugènia Balcells and Lali Bosch on this project and on the capacity of art to transcend disciplines and make visible the great questions that concern us as humans.
Participants: Eugènia Balcells, Eulàlia Bosch, Jordi Balló, Toni Pou, Maria Muñoz, Carlota Subirós
