Cos d’Ebre, the project by the Italian artist Marco Noris, also takes the form of an exhibition. It can be seen until 2 November at the Centre d’Art Lo Pati — Centre d’Art Terres de l’Ebre in Amposta. It is based on a walk of more than eighty days and almost 1,200 km following the Ebro from end to end, which Noris himself undertook between April and July, accompanied by the psychoanalyst Celeste Reyna, a collaborator on the project. Cos d’Ebre approaches the river as a living body, a political and cultural border and an archive of memories and conflicts.

Along the route, Noris collected drawings, texts, photographs, sounds, found objects and testimonies, which he later brought together to express the complexity of everything surrounding the Ebro. At the end of the journey, the artist settled at the Baladre artists’ residency, in the Ebro Delta, managed by Lo Pati, where he organised the accumulated material under the curatorship of Andrea Pacheco González, a Chilean curator whose work has focused on artistic practices addressing memory, identity, diaspora and territory.
