Joan Martorell

Born in the mid-20th century, this Catalan designer and artist has shaped a distinctive path through the realms of sound, sculpture, and installation. Rooted in a meticulous approach to materiality, the work unfolds across spaces where acoustics, texture, and form interact to create immersive experiences. Influenced by urban environments and natural echoes alike, the practice often explores how listening shapes perception and memory. Collaborative by nature, projects frequently cross disciplines, inviting performers, filmmakers, and audiences to engage with sound as a spatial medium rather than a mere medium of transmission. The resulting body of work emphasizes subtlety, balance, and a refined attention to listening as a creative act.
