The Open Shore (La vora oberta)

“La vora oberta” begins with a journey along the Siurana river, from its source in the Prades Mountains to its confluence with the Ebro. The project addresses the water transfer to Riudecanyes as a territorial and symbolic wound that empties the river’s natural course and turns it into an extracted body. Between action and pictorial record, the project traces a poetic reading of dependence, displacement, and the territory’s survival.

Body Ebro (La Entrega III)

Body Ebro is an artistic project that explores the river as body, border, and archive. It is based on a journey on foot from the source of the Ebro to its mouth in the Mediterranean, establishing a dialogue between the body-artist and the river-body as a space of collective memory. Inspired by Sequere, a previous project by Marco Noris, Body Ebro proposes a real-time reading of the territory, where the act of walking activates a new embodiment of memory, linking geography, history, and climate emergency.

Walking towards a deep humanity (Noris, Pacheco González, 2025)

A conversation between the artist Marco Noris and the curator Andrea Pacheco González, written for the Cos d'Ebre catalogue. Departing from the walk along the Ebro —eighty days and over twelve hundred kilometres, from its source at Tres Mares to its mouth in the Mediterranean—, they discuss walking as a method of artistic research, the dialogue between the human-body and the river-body —understood as body, border and archive— and the need for a "deep humanity" to reimagine the future.

The birth of otherness. Towards a littoralisation of borders (Reyna, 2025)

Text by the psychoanalyst Celeste Reyna for the Cos d'Ebre catalogue, tracing the walk along the Ebro —from source to mouth— as the cycle of a river-body that is born, grows, fragments and dies. Through psychoanalysis, it reads the riverbanks as the place where otherness is born —the other who is not a rival— and proposes to "littoralise" borders so as to turn edges into bridges.
