Born in Barcelona in 1977, the self-taught creative spirit Rallito X sought sanctuary in Berlin in 2011. Berlin serves as the current canvas for Rallito X's unrestrained exploration of various artistic mediums.
As a harbinger of chaos, Rallito X conceptualized the "Manual of the Confused Movement," a tribute to all oppressed imaginative souls. Engaged deeply in his subversive quest, he wields satire and criticism against the primary suppressor—the invisible yet omnipresent source of control. Inherently nomadic and anonymous to the general public, this visionary artist persistently challenges observers in public spaces, using absurdity to push his audience beyond the boundaries of comfort into an inevitable reality.
Rallito X views his art as a weapon against the established norms of art and the conventions of contemporary society. Originating from the street art scene in his hometown, he developed a distinctive visual language that transitions from paper and walls to a performative experience. The monstrous figures he crafts in comic strips, drawings, paste-ups, or on walls always come with significant textual messages, conveying the essence of Rallito X's ideas. While powerful in visual form alone, the same message gains further emphasis in his performances, living sculptures, or installations regularly executed in public spaces, drawing in large numbers of viewers and participants. By infusing vitality, time, and a third dimension into his expression, Rallito X unveils an entire universe of interpretation perfectly aligned with his artistic concept.
Rallito X's performance art delves into a myriad of social issues, exploring the realm of behavioral studies. Through the use of absurdity, strong symbolism, or familiar marketing tools, the artist addresses some of the pressing issues affecting the Western world today—immigration, superficiality, politics, power, and inequality—all brought to life in seemingly innocent interactions with the public. Observers become active participants in the performance, with their reactions and experiences integral to the piece.
Rallito X is unafraid to dismantle pleasant facades and put people on the spot. Ordinary individuals may find themselves literally walking over others labeled as "immigrants" or taking a selfie with a nonsensical chicken-faced man. In these moments, human nature prevails as adopted behavioral guidelines are discarded. Yet, spirits are stirred, and daily routines are questioned, challenging the dominant "normal" way of thinking.
At the core of Rallito X's artistic endeavors is the exposure of tightly controlled societies. Operating on the premise that we are all coerced to adhere to societal laws, the artist identifies control as the ultimate adversary to true freedom—chaos. Rallito X intentionally vibrates at the subversive frequency of chaos, aspiring to inspire a confused movement that spreads globally, viewing confusion of the mind as the fundamental path to freedom.
