Planet X is a Madrid-based anonymous artist duo whose work delves into the intersection of the human experience of identity and unity. Both members of Planet X completed their Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, followed by a Master of Arts in Contemporary Art Practice at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Planet X’s artistic journey is marked by a series of solo exhibitions including “Ephemeral Realities” at Galería de Arte Moderno, Madrid, “Fragments of Self” at Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Toledo. Their work has also been showcased in numerous group exhibitions across Spain, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo Nacional del Prado. With residencies at Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris and Fundación Botín in Santander, Planet X’s artistry has been enriched by diverse cultural experiences. As a member of Asociación de Artistas Plásticos de Madrid (APAM) and Asociación de Artistas Visuales de España (AAVE), Planet X continues to explore new dimensions in their artistic practice, guided by their profound understanding of the human experience.
“One love” is more than just a piece of art; it is a testament to the enduring power of love, expressed through the simplicity of numbers, letters and symbols. The number one is a symbol of singularity, of completeness within itself. Through the energetic animation and flip book, this solitary digit comes alive dancing with the global symbol of a heart — a universal emblem of affection and compassion. The looped animation and flip book suggests a fluid continuum, where past, present, and future coalesce into a single moment of infinite possibility and human solidarity.
It is a celebration of the human spirit, a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend boundaries and unite us all as one.
