SANT FÈLIX, the excavation
“Perhaps, this Saint can be found now in this new Millennium?“
He then proposed that the first day of the Town Feast, which is dedicated to Sant Fèlix, would be a good day for finding him within the soil of Vilafranca. It was not the first time that this artist had resorted to the excavation within the soil to create his work. From Dettoni’s hands, this sculpture is thus the result of a process that began on the patio of the Museum of Vilafranca del Penedés (Catalonia, Spain) on August 30, 2004, at 7 am.
