Through a wide range of languages – sculpture, video, installation, photography and drawing – and the use of irony, Toni Giró presents his particular way of understanding the world. In recent years, his work has focused on linguistics and the imperfection implicit in translation, which Giró expresses by using play on words and visual artifices taken to their ultimate consequences. He uses his interest in the image and its condition as appearance and projection to apply a critical approach to the present and point out the limits and possible vanishing points of contemporaneity. He won a scholarship at Socrates Sculpture Park in New York (1991) and the Associació Catalana de Crítics d’Art prize (2008) for his exhibition Action must not be reaction, but creation.
