Edurne Rubio, Ojo Guareña (2018)

Waterdrops echo human footsteps while memories of speleologists, revolutionary songs and cries of dead animals reverberate against the shadows of a gigantic cave in Spain.

Followed by a discussion with the artist

Edurne Rubio (Burgos, 1974) is a visual artist based in Brussels—her practice shifts among different contexts and formats: performances, films and sound projects. Edurne Rubio creates situations where tension is built up between what we see and what we hear, between present, memory and imagination. With an anthropological approach, she uses interviews as her primary method of work, collecting individual stories to build a collective narrative and, in so doing, she questions any linear reading of history, offering a subjective reading in continuous transformation and dependent on affections.
