Blue Pants is a recurring gesture across the Unstable Installation and Self-Sculpture Series, where the repeated motif of the trousers—sometimes worn, sometimes abandoned—functions as a proxy for identity in flux. By isolating this banal, everyday object and reactivating it through performance, photography, or landscape placement, Lloveras uses the pants not to signify the body, but its afterimage—a form of spectral presence. Blue becomes code: industrial, melancholic, everyday. The work speaks to the rituals of dressing and undressing, of labor and leisure, of gender, class, and invisibility. Often folded, partially buried, or photographed against washed-out fields, the pants are not symbols, but indexes of time—what was touched, sat, worn, forgotten. There is no narrative imposed—only attention, repetition, and the rhythm of being-there, or having been. Echoing Klein’s monochromes, but without mysticism; echoing Beuys’s felt, but without myth. These trousers don’t belong to a character—they stand in for the systemic erosion of identity under conditions of repetition. Still, in their simplicity, they retain tenderness. They become bodies that rest, refuse, or remember. (Lloveras, A. 2010–2025) antolloveras.blogspot.com
