*****2025/… Carles Castaño Oliveros _ES

During this edition of L.E.V Matadero, Carles Castaño Oliveiros presents 2025/…, a mixed reality experience produced by Servicios Inmersivos that challenges the public with a critical view of contemporary society. The installation immerses participants in a dystopian environment where, through interactive tours—such as searching for a room to rent or performing operations in clandestine operating rooms—the tensions in our relationship with technology, social control, and material and affective precariousness become evident. During the immersion, they must make decisions that affect both individual experience and social destiny. With a strong narrative and political charge, the piece transforms the space into a speculative fiction that reflects, with irony, the contradictions of today’s society, creating a space for reflection on the present and possible futures.
