Seville, Spain, 1992
A trip around the world of discovery
This pavilion was one of the four theme pavilions proposed by Spain.
To celebrate five centuries of discovery and conquest, deliberately disproportionate
staging and a concoction of museum exhibits, decors, projections and special
effects conjured up a strongly symbolic visit itinerary.
Those who visited the Universal exhibition in Seville in 1992 will remember
the black silhouettes of the giant chimney sweeps on the Discovery Pavilion.
Burnt to the ground in half an hour just two months before the opening
of the exhibition, this pavilion was the result of three years of unwavering
work, enthusiasm and passion.
