Radical Eclecticism



In the proliferating constellation of one hundred projects, Anto Lloveras advances not a portfolio but a metabolic continuum in which each node performs as organ within a mutable socioplastic body. The so-called works oscillate between durational performance, inhabitable architecture, edible ritual and digital pedagogy, yet their heterogeneity conceals a rigorous ontological spine. A plastic bag carried for years mutates into epistemic infrastructure; a golden emergency blanket becomes communal dermis; lemons crystallise portable protocols of co-presence. Built interventions such as the Trole Building or speculative Spaceships operate not as stylistic gestures but as urban surgeries, while inflatable red demarcations and green ecological matrices re-script territory as responsive tissue. Concurrently, YouTube Breakfast and The Digital Prosumer recast pedagogy as rhizomatic broadcast, dissolving the classroom into distributed cognition. Even gastronomic experiments such as Fishdish elevate ingestion into civic metabolism, converting nourishment into relational contract. Agonistic Frictions, Fireworks as Hyperplastic Writing—function as manifesto and ignition system, articulating a doctrine of controlled explosion wherein conflict, translation and spectacle become methodological engines. A salient case emerges in Re-(t)exHile, where textile detritus is reassembled into postcolonial scaffolding, suturing fashion, waste and infrastructural ethics into a single reparative syntax. Across these movements, coherence arises not from style but from a persistent commitment to interdependence without homogeneity. Lloveras’ achievement resides in proving that architecture can become affection, ritual can become governance, and theory can combust into public life; the hundred are thus one organism—fractured, adaptive, and unmistakably alive.
