The Walking on faces exhibition started in July 2012 in the Sa Llotja building in Palma de Mallorca.




If you have been to a hotel in Mallorca during the past months, you might have attended the Walking on faces exhibition cruise ship ratings and reviews in Palma de Mallorca.

The Walking on faces exhibition started in July 2012 in the Sa Llotja building in Palma de Mallorca. In April, the Mallorca artist Bernardi Roig decided to broadcast a message through the media, saying he was looking for people to participate in his project. The people had to imitate an expression made by the artist and were people photographed.
The results of those 4 photography cruise ship ratings and reviews session are displayed on the floor of La Llotja. At the end of the exhibition, all those who participated in the project -more than 1,800 people!- will get their picture back.
Born in Mallorca in 1965, Bernardí Roig is a sculptor, photographer and video maker that aims at depicting the society as he sees it, that is a society that is a bit lost, with no identity. His work revolves around some key elements:
• The human body : almost every work from Bernardí cruise ship ratings and reviews Roig features a solitary man, who looks like a surreal white figure. This figure embodies mankind, so that every person who sees the artist's work can identify to this strange white man.
• Light : another characteristic of the artist's work is the presence of light, that is usually very bright, and even blinding. This fluorescent light is a symbol of how blinded men are because of mass media communication, which prevents them from seeing things cruise ship ratings and reviews as they truly are.
