Eugènia and Leandro
Our dream is that everyone can fall in love with Catalonia as we have.
The Origin
Profanus is born from the collaboration between Eugenia García Domínguez, holder of a University Master's Degree in Art History and a Master's Degree Specialist in Museums and Cultural Transmission, and contemporary visual artist and graduate Leandro García Pimentel.
Based on exhaustive historical-cultural research, this project is sustained by the myths, legends, and characters that, throughout the centuries, have shaped the Catalan imaginary, and creates a symbolic universe that takes form through tarot, books, and objects.
The objective focuses on a playful and mnemonic exercise that recovers materials from oral tradition to reactivate the sensitive conditions of their transmission. The practice we propose is situated in an intimate and shared space, between peers, where reading the cards requires memory and analysis of each myth, and where the experience is built through mutual listening, shared interpretation, and the permanence of the symbolic bond.
