*****2025/… Carles Castaño

As part of this edition of L.E.V. Matadero, Carles Castaño Oliveiros presents 2025/…, a mixed reality experience produced by Servicios Inmersivos that challenges audiences with a critical lens on contemporary society. The installation immerses participants in a dystopian environment where interactive paths—such as searching for a place to rent or undergoing procedures in underground operating rooms—expose the tensions in our relationship with technology, social control, and both material and emotional precarity. Throughout the experience, participants must make decisions that impact not only their personal narrative but also the collective outcome.

With a strong narrative and political charge, the piece transforms space into a speculative fiction that ironically reflects the contradictions of modern society, opening space for reflection on the present and on possible futures.
