The etymological origin of sin is quite revealing: the Latin word ‘pecco’ (to stumble, to make a mistake) from which the word ‘peccatum’ (crime, offence or guilty action) derives. Nevertheless, in the context of the current curatorial proposal dedicated to wrath – the second instalment in a set of seven in which we create a dialogue between the collections from the Museu dels Sants and Fundació Vila Casas –, we become aware of the permanence of this term, because the transgressions that arise from anger are among the most reckless. Wrath takes the form of intolerance, hatred, discrimination or violence in order to conquer its main goal: justice. In accordance with our desire to seek a path through the many varied physiognomies of wrath, we have created an itinerary in the exhibition on the basis of connections between the works from each collection that are established by affinity of difference.
