The Yellow Bag functions as a nomadic situational fixer and contextual absorber in Anto Lloveras's socioplastics practice since 2014: a simple, reusable everyday object—bright yellow, low-cost, and radically minimal—that travels lightly across continents, quietly collecting seeds, sand (like the iconic 1000 grams gathered at Zipolite beach during sunset and displaced from Atlantic to Pacific shores), leaves, stones, light fragments, atmospheric conditions, and layers of memory. It inserts itself into diverse environments—urban synthesis nodes like Madrid, coastal ritual sites in Cádiz, Málaga, and Galicia, transitional landscapes such as Provence fields, Norwegian fjords, Slovakian rural fields, or Nigerian urban fabrics—blurring boundaries between object, ritual, witness, and living sculpture. Its mechanics are pure process: empty or filled as the moment demands, it adapts without added complexity, reflecting transience, ephemeral presence, and the infinite potential of vacancy. The constant yellow hue contrasts with mutable outfits (black, green, brown) and parallel activations, amplifying relational instability while generating geopoetic connections through gesture, displacement, and silent presence alone. Even on stage in Double Sided (the minimalist two-channel dance and film series with Mateo Feijóo, presented at Réplika Teatro in 2023), the bag appears as a subtle scenic element—portable, unassuming—enhancing themes of duality, bodily rhythm, and raw expression. As of December 2025, after eleven years of continuous nomadic use—from Croatia and Serbia to Mexico, Lagos, Trondheim, Athens, La Gomera, A Coruña, Compostela, and Mallorca (Fundación Joan Miró)—it endures as a silent ritual of care, proving contemporary art can be radically simple, sustainable, deeply contextual, and reparative. No permanent residues, no leftovers—only portable memory, reactivable protocols, and shared embodied coexistence.
