Part of the Unstable Social Sculpture Series (2014–2019), the Blue Bags form a persistent thread within Anto Lloveras’s socioplastic practice. They are not just props or containers—they are translators: mobile, minimal agents capable of re-signifying space through presence, placement, and portability. With their saturated color and ordinary materiality, these disposable polyethylene bags become poetic carriers of site, memory, and gesture. Always in use, the bags traverse contexts—from urban margins to institutional walls—absorbing the sociopolitical and sensory atmospheres of each setting. At times, they rest silently on the ground. At others, they are worn, inflated, carried, or suspended. Each configuration activates the object anew: as a situational fixer, a conceptual index, or a prosthetic companion. The bags do not represent; they respond. Linked to other minimal carriers in the Socioplastic Canon—such as the Yellow Bag, the Green Briefcase, or the Blanket—the Blue Bags articulate a system of low-tech, high-affectional devices. Together, they stage a material grammar of mobility, fragility, and attention. As part of the United Nations of Art, they cross borders silently, serving as vessels of both care and critique in precarious times.
