People who committed suicide and babies who died before being baptised were not accepted in Catholic cemeteries until not so long ago. Desperate relatives secretly sought out a dignified place for their bodies. Burials that shared hills and wind with executed people, atheists, passers-by, Protestants... The bells never rang for ‘the others’ and yet, outside the cemetery, outside the institution, death is transformed into landscape.

about

EDURNE RUBIO 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.
She has made, among others : Tijd Gaten (architecture intervention 2021), A Nublo (performance 2021, in collaboration with Maria Jerez), Daqui (sound work 2020, 34th Bienal de São Paulo), Ojo Guareña (film 2018), Light Years Away (performance 2016 )…
