Bestiari is a research project of a creative method in which, as the members of the OuLiPo did, the logics and structures of a language have been used to work with a material that is not their own. The poem The Toad by Josep Carner, found in an anthology of poems called Bestiaris (1990) curated by Llorenç Soldevila, has been used as a guideline to act on sound, light and glass, and thus formalize an artistic and audiovisual installation.
