The original article in the Diari de Girona was published in Catalan: diaridegirona.cat. It is about «Refugium, refugia», Marco Noris’s exhibition at the MUME (Museu Memorial de l’Exili) in La Jonquera. This English version is an AI translation for my personal archive.

The Italian painter and draughtsman Marco Noris explores the uprooting of exile in an exhibition at the Museu Memorial de l’Exili in La Jonquera. Titled Refugium, refugia, the show offers a journey through the collective emotional memory of exiled people, born of a visit to the Rivesaltes concentration camp.

The exhibition, on view until 3 February, is made up of around twenty oil paintings and four installations adding up to 120 m² of paper, in which the artist portrays the physical and emotional places of exile.

For Noris, who has lived in Barcelona since 2003, refugee camps are at once refuge and condemnation, and they certify the loss of dignity and identity of the refugee, who is cut off from their roots and their past. The refugee is an exile, and uprootedness becomes an irreversible trauma that affects the very foundations of the human being.

This is Noris’s second exhibition in La Jonquera. The previous one, in 2017, consisted of 132 drawings and paintings in ink and oil created as he walked the Pyrenees on foot from Andorra to Portbou, following in the footsteps of the Republican exiles.

Some years ago, during a visit to the Museu Memorial de l’Exili in La Jonquera, Marco Noris first learned of the existence of the Rivesaltes camp, which opened in the 1930s to house Spanish exiles. Interned there, in addition to exiled Republicans, were Jews, Roma, Nazi prisoners and Algerian soldiers of the French army.
