Laura Clos “Closca” presents Traffic Jam Zoom, an installation in the side garden at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya where half a dozen vehicles are arranged haphazardly, all at a standstill, forming an unsettling urban landscape. A project that brings together art and sustainability, thanks to a collaboration between the Gremis de Recuperació and the CATs Association, who provided the recycled vehicles.

The cars, fitted with their own light, sound and smoke installations, become symbolic spaces where the tensions of modern life converge: stress, anxiety and the anguish of daily life. From inside the 600 m² perimeter, the observer can contemplate this metaphor of today's society while discovering the specific features of each piece. At a given moment, all the vehicles light up and beep in unison before returning to their individual trajectories, thus demonstrating how, in today's society, we swing between individualism and collective synchronisation. In this way, Traffic Jam Zoom becomes a reflection of the conformism and alienation that define the frenetic pace of urban life.
