Dels Animales de Las Ramblas (The Animals of Las Ramblas)
A quick and fun project, outcome of a uni trip to Barcelona.
Something that surprised me on my visit was the abundance of live animals being sold on the street of Las Ramblas - the likes of birds, iguanas and hamsters to name but a few.
Another - arguably more pleasant - thing that made an impression on me was the various vintage cigarette papers found in charming little antique shops. Their packaging was stunning; various paper weights and textures adorned with illustrations and beautiful typography.
When asked to produce an item insipred by our trip for my course, I put together these packets of mock cigarette papers in the style of the vintage ones I’d seen there. Merging the two aforementioned memories together, each paper depicts an animal that was for sale on Las Ramblas, thus hinting at what appeared to me as the ‘disposable’ nature of the animals at the market.
