From the Salines de la Trinitat to the former Salines de la Tancada: the journey of 7 tons of salt

An intervention by Montserrat Cuesta and Sergi Ramírez at the former Salines de la Tancada, in MónNatura Delta —a space run by Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera— using salt from the Salines de la Trinitat in La Ràpita, presented during Eufònic 2025

A sculpture made of salt and memory

Sculptors Montserrat Cuesta and Sergi Ramírez presented at Eufònic 2025 the piece “Geometries of Salt: Traces of an Economy in Motion”, an installation created at the former Salines de la Tancada (MónNatura Delta, Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera), built with salt from the Salines de la Trinitat in La Ràpita.

An intervention that uses salt as a temporary archive to reflect on the relationship between solid ground and lagoon, and on the contrast between what endures and what dissolves. The piece is installed at the former Salines de la Tancada with salt sourced from the Salines de la Trinitat (Infosa) in La Ràpita, a symbolic displacement that connects the current site of production with a place loaded with memory. In doing so, the action recovers the legacy of a practice fundamental to the trade of salt and transhumance, re-signifying it in a contemporary key.

From landscape to dissolution

Geometries of Salt is both an intervention —presented at MónNatura Delta de l’Ebre from May 22, 2025 until its dissolution— and an audiovisual piece documenting the transport of 7 tons of salt across the Trabucador sandbar. This work is the trace that remains of the entire action around salt and the Delta, keeping alive a proposal that connects history, trade, and landscape through a material as fragile as it is essential.
