Reiner Joncourt is an elusive German artist who has been based in Catalonia for two decades and is extremely protective of his privacy. He has no social media or known public profile.

At DIGIT_01, he presents his work Desplaçament de masses [2, 3, 2, 1] (Mass Displacement [2,3,2,1]), a multisite installation distributed between the Washhouses of Pratdip, the Washhouses of Sant Antoni in Montbrió del Camp, and a secret location in the natural environment of the Serra de Llaveria.

The work, consisting of 194 stones painted in fluorescent green and purple, sets up a play of spatial distribution between unity and dispersion, establishing a dialogue between public space, natural surroundings, and the viewer’s perception, where the fluorescent color alters the reading of the stone as a banal object and transforms it into an element of strong visual and symbolic charge.

Extraordinarily, he has granted us an interview in which he reveals little and perhaps further obscures his enigmatic artistic practice, based almost exclusively on painted stones that form part of temporary interventions, discreet or secret in nature, within the natural environment.
