The Midnight Fracture

Time has been cancelled. Oficials refuse to comment. What would you do?

The Midnight Fracture is not a piece. It’s an emotional misalignment in the form of an exhibition. This installation arises from an intimate urgency: to create a universe where the absurd, the romantic, and the grotesque can exist without permission. The set recreates a scene lost in time—as if someone fled mid-confession, leaving behind a cursed newspaper, deformed portraits, and a typewriter that refuses to forget.

Here, design does not decorate: it exposes. The illustrations do not embellish: they reflect the parts of us we pretend not to recognise. Every object is here because it fit nowhere else. This is not a homage to the gothic nor a postmodern irony. It’s a visceral response to a world obsessed with logic and coherence.

More information

This proposal replies with false tears, bold colours, and phrases that echo like cheerful curses.

The viewer does not look at the work: they enter it. They do not read it: they listen, even if it makes no sound. The Midnight Fracture is an emotional anomaly built with theatrical aesthetics, sinister humour, and twisted compassion.

There is no timeline. No explanation. Only a warning remains:
“If you read this aloud, the mango moves closer.”

Testimonial

"Graphic designer and Bureau 105 co-founder Luis Muñoz Jean Baptiste delivers an atmospheric installation that feels like stepping into a fractured dream. With cursed newspapers, and portraits twisted out of recognition, “The Midnight Fracture” is part theatre, part confession, a surreal universe where the grotesque and poetic co-exist. Darkly humorous and immersive, it unsettles as much as it fascinates." — Lovin Malta

"I cannot imagine living on that day. No mistakes allowed." — Gen Z

"Absurd is reality. Reality is absurd. Live with it." — Dimma❤️
