31 Other works are related to the idea of orientation, or evoke movement through the air, or a settlement, elements linked with changes and journeying through space, such as Juan Muñoz’s Al norte de la tormenta (North of the Storm, 1986), José María Yturralde’s Estructura volante II (Flying Structure II, 1976) and Charles Simonds’s Houseplant No. 1. Transformation of territory and the mutation of one state into another are symbolised in a series of works painted by Miquel Navarro in 1972 and 1973 in which he shows scenes connected with meteorological and physical phenomena, such as Volcán I and II (Volcano I and II), Maremoto (Seaquake), Terremoto (Earthquake) and Volcán apagado (Extinct Volcano). These examples, and others in which the titles make explicit the relation between the human body, personal relationships and the city, provide a timid glimpse of part of the concept that predominates in the third and final section, the connection with fluid identities. Similarly, the large hanging work by Gilberto Zorio, Los zorios (The Zorios, 1995), dedicated to his family, presents an incipient dialogue with personal identity in relation to belonging to a group.
