Es Baluard Museu d'Art Contemporani de Palma is located on the perimeter of the bastion of Sant Pere, which forms part of the Renaissance walled enclosure that surrounded the city of Palma until the early 20th century.
At the end of the nineteen-eighties, the land was classified as for public use and its expropriation began, and it was left abandoned until 1997, when that same land was ceded by Palma City Council for the construction of the museum, under the name of Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma, which was inaugurated on 30th January 2004.

The Green Fog , the exhibition by Mallorcan artist José Fiol , will be at Es Baluard Museum until next May 2025.

The Green Fog is a new project by Mallorcan artist José Fiol that intertwines two seemingly unrelated events: the 1975 Wimbledon final and the cinematic reinterpretation of Vertigo (1958) in the experimental film The Green Fog , directed by Guy Maddin . Fiol uses these events as a starting point to explore how history, cinema and sport can interrelate through the technique of cut-up , creating new narratives and meanings.

The 1975 Wimbledon final is a landmark in tennis history. Arthur Ashe , a prominent tennis player and human rights activist, defeated Jimmy Connors , becoming the first and only African-American male tennis player to win this prestigious tournament. This match was more than just a sporting duel; it represented a clash between two styles of play and, more broadly, between two worldviews. Ashe, with his strategic and tactical approach and sportsmanship, faced the aggressive and forceful style of Connors, who was world number one at the time. Despite the fact that Ashe had never won a set in his previous matches against Connors, he devised an ingenious strategy that completely disarmed his opponent, leading him to a historic 6–1, 6–1, 5–7, 6–4 victory.

On the other hand, The Green Fog is a reinterpretation of Alfred Hitchcock 's classic film Vertigo , constructed from fragments of old films and television series shot in San Francisco. This technique, the cut-up , is a way of making the known seem unfamiliar, transforming the familiar into something strange and surprising. With each juxtaposed fragment, Maddin immerses us in a visual whirlwind, where each scene seems to fade into the next, like a green fog that envelops and confuses.

It is precisely this green mist that seems to envelop Fiol's project, who has decided to unite these two worlds in a series of triptychs that depict the outcome of that legendary Wimbledon final , merging images of matches and Maddin's experimental film. Room D of Es Baluard is bathed in an aura of surrealism and mystery, as if the spirits of Vertigo and Wimbledon 1975 were whispering in the air.

Thanks for watching.
