Joan Masdeu

Heteronyms

Joan Masdeu

Barcelona, 1958. Design Studies and Art History. His interest in writing and science, especially the human body, leads him to works that go through identity and imprint, as metaphors of the life and non-transferable cycle of the human being.

«When an artist, expresses through his heteronyms, that is to say, personalities created and thought like others, alludes surely at that true emotion at a true expression of what talks Pessoa when says: feign is to know oneself.
Multiple and varied should be the motifs that motivated at Marga Ximenez, at creating his heteronyms. Parallel transits that permitted her a game that the identity prison does not permit». (Of the text “Plural like the univers”, of Nora Ancarola.)
