LEMON KISS, presented at Luka Gallery in Pula, unfolds as a protocol of relational presence, where lemons act as affective interfaces and temporal markers in a choreography of everyday signals, staging a sensual micro-politics of visibility through the daily act of kissing a lemon and placing it in a window, a ritual that blends tenderness, decay and quiet communication into an unstable social sculpture; far from being still life, each lemon becomes a living node in a distributed network of meaning, its surface bruising with time, its scent infiltrating space, while the installation scales up into a constellation of 100 bright lemons, archival posters, cuttings of meat, sand from Bolonia, and fragments of compressed video diaries sourced from street footage across Mexico City, Berlin, Madrid and London, configuring a layered assemblage of tags, hyperlinks and material memory; simultaneously personal and open-source, the show operates as a solo that refuses solitude, pulling in the digital ecosystem of LaPieza, including 120 online adds and ten numbered poster sets, treating the gallery as a relational engine rather than a static site, where scent, color and memory collide; the yellow bag, making its first appearance, extends the earlier Blue Bags series, and stands here as a portable totem of urban dérive, a soft container of moments, gossip, residue; curated without finality, LEMON KISS invites proximity without possession, intimacy without fixity, showing that in Lloveras’s practice, smell is structure, presence is porous, and sculpture happens in the interstices between gesture, platform and time.
