Description:
“These photographs tell us that a stain can be the shadow cast by the sun sneaking through a door opening, the light filtering through the branches of a tree, or the remains of paint left on the floor by a painter. "

Son Boter, a typical rural Mallorcan house dating back to the 18th century, is the oldest of the Fundació’s buildings. It became Joan Miró’s second Mallorcan studio, purchased by the artist in 1959 with the prize money of the New York Guggenheim International Award, given to him for the creation of the Mur du soleil and Mur de la lune for the Paris UNESCO building.

Drawn by the creative force of Son Boter studio, in 2012 Rif Spahni started this project, Photographs, many of insignificant details and objects, but which in the eye of the photographer became instant pictures of past moments when, for a fleeting instant, we once again see Joan Miró working in his studio.

In 2018 he returned to the place to search again for the details, through the footprints and vestiges on the floor of the studio.

This book counted with the participation of Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca.
