Following a long list of guest artists and architects that intervened in the Pavilion with their temporary installations – such as SANAA, Ai Wei Wei and Enric Miralles – Spencer Finch’s contribution aligns with the meditative mood of the modern building. Finch brought the Ryōan-ji zen garden into the water mirror of the Barcelona Pavilion, two physical spaces that he understands as catalysts for abstract thought.
