DECONSTRUCTING DALÍ Vicenç C. (1 BTX B)

Museu Dalí, Figueres’16

The week before we left the school for Christmas holidays, we were doing an ABP about Salvador Dalí and his life, and the following day we went to Museu Dalí in Figueres. It is so shocking and peculiar because it has got lots of elements of surrealism (and this artistic movement is so shocking).

At the beginning of the visit, Petra, our guide, showed us the details of Dalí’s paintings, sculptures, etc, because he did his work with lots of subliminal images and messages. I really loved the dome of the building, the history of the dome, because Dalí wanted to represent the eyes of a fly. This museum has got only one dome and I was looking for the other, and Petra told us that the other dome is reflected in the big mirror of the museum, so at the end I could see both eyes. It was a curious datum because normal people want to look physically the two domes but, because he was a ‘’crazy’’ man, he found a different way to look the things and interpret them. He wanted to trick the minds of people, in this aspect!

The next stop of our guide was Dalí’s faces lounge, where we did the “face swap challenge” with him hahaha. It was so funny because there were lots of stupid faces (in the good sense of the word, obviously), because Dalí had lots of different faces to express a feeling. For example, there were people taking photos with the photo of the right, and you can imagine the results of the face swap; it was really really really funny!

Definitely, the excursion wasn’t boring as I was thinking about, and it was so curious and impacting… I want to go another time there, because I enjoyed a lot and I liked the stories of him too! Please,  invite me the next year to come another time.
