«Miró, l’altre», originally with the title ORIM (Miró written in reverse), but officially and in Spanish – «Miró otro» – was a retrospective exhibition of the work of Joan Miró organized by the Official College of Architects of Catalunya (COAC) at its Barcelona headquarters in 1969. An action was made by the artist and collaborators before the opening of the exhibition, which was destroyed by the artist. An ephemeral and contracultural piece that recorded Pere Portabella with music by Carles Santos and without speech, which includes both the painting process and the destruction of the work.
