On the beach of Barceloneta, there is a sculpture in the form of a pile of giant boxes called "The Wounded Star" (La estrella herida). This is the work of German artist Rebecca Horn, which symbolizes a star that has fallen from the sky.
If you can’t make out the star in this composition, then there are still options for interpreting the symbolism of this sculptural group. Rebecca Horne may have captured the iconic beach eateries here, which were demolished before the 1992 Olympics. Or perhaps this is how the cramped houses of Barceloneta are depicted, which, due to population growth at the end of the 19th century, had to be separated by additional partitions, as a result of which the famous “quarters” (cuartos de casa) appeared, with an area of .30 square meters. m. per family.
