Taronjers is an urban investigation across the city of Valencia. Over six months, all the city’s “orange walls” were researched, geolocated, and catalogued.

Their distinctive color comes from polyurethane, a petroleum-derived substance sprayed onto walls for insulation. Initially yellow, the material gradually oxidizes over the years, turning into different shades of orange.
In Valencia, the presence of these walls creates a unique phenomenon, both for their quantity and their locations, often generating fascinating atmospheres of decay. Many of these walls are temporary, destined to disappear as the city evolves, often located in construction sites or semi-abandoned spaces.

The project therefore becomes an urban archive, bringing attention to something previously overlooked or never considered noteworthy. These scattered presences can now be noticed, searched for, or encountered by chance, as the city itself becomes the stage for an open-air exhibition.
