THE RAMBLET. Bulevard Sud, sang Pius IX
The ceberes are rectangular wooden agricultural constructions, with gable roof, formerly intended to protect onions. These modest constructions emerged at the end of the 19th century—at that time of transition between self-consumption agriculture and the new market-oriented model—, and today we can still find them in areas of the Valencian garden, mostly abandoned and destroyed. A The exhibition the cebera, Asensio Martínez Soler combines documentary photographs of the ceberes that still survive with a main piece that reproduces a modernist aesthetic facade of the Valencian vegetable garden, with ceramic elements related to onion cultivation. Understanding decorative ceramics and documentary photography, the artist underlines the tension between what is preserved for its beauty and what ends up disappearing to be considered purely utilitarian.
