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.
Sequere (La Entrega II)
It is an artistic project about time and memory that begins with a symbolic act: collecting water at the mouth of the Ebro and walking upstream to return it to the source of the Segre River, the main tributary of the Ebro. The artist’s gaze and their body moving through space and time become instruments to activate a poetic reading of the territory: experiences along the route and through the traversed space—with its geography, toponyms, cities, and mountains—serve as the trigger for an investigation into historical memory, human relations, and the territory.
Lloc, lluny, llar
Walking as an artistic practice, art as a cartography of existence. A research project based on the journey of the Grand Tour 2020, the sixth edition of the walk organized each year by Nau Côclea in Catalan territory.
La Entrega - Act I
“La Entrega” is a project conceived as a set of actions—acts—where walking is the main motor. The title refers to the double meaning of the word: to give and to give oneself, an ambivalence common to artistic practice and walking. The first act of La Entrega was a 350-kilometre route, walking for 21 days from the artist’s studio in Barcelona to the Centre d’Art i Natura in Farrera, a small village in the Pyrenees.
On the Border
In the summer of 2017, Noris walked the 300 km of the Spanish–French border in the province of Girona, along routes that many Spanish Republican exiles once took. Along the way, the artist made a work corresponding to each of the 198 boundary stones that mark the line. Walking and painting, connecting points along the border—balancing on an invisible line that splits in two what is one—made the invisible visible and unfolded a new landscape of memory.
