Projects
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.
Lighting the void (Enllumenant el buit)
Lighting the void (Enllumenant el buit) is a research project on the history of the village of Envall in the Vall Fosca, depopulated in the 1960s and now undergoing repopulation. The research will culminate in an installation in the former Romanesque church of the village, converted into a public facility.
Museu de Camins, Fórmula Mutare
Commissioned by the Carulla Foundation (Barcelona) for the book La fórmula Mutare.
Transmutations
This project consists of a pictorial series and a site-specific installation in Garzón, where the landscape is transformed through water, time, and natural agents. Noris deconstructs territory and matter, balancing control and chance. Thirty square metres of painting and rural objects shape a space of experimentation in which human gesture, memory, and natural processes intertwine.
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.
La Pell de la Terra
These abstract paintings, which evoke paths, earth, and stone, take shape as post-historical altarpieces that transform both ancient places of worship and contemporary exhibition spaces into contemplative environments dedicated to a sacredness that is both new and ancient—inclusive, universal, and non-denominational—placing the earth and the mountain at the center of the visitor’s inner experience.
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.
Nel lieve sovrapporsi di cielo e terra
“Nel lieve sovrapporsi di cielo e terra” is conceived as a layered territory: pigment glazes, papers, frayed canvases, cardboard and old woods that gently overlap to build a place where unity and fragment coexist. In that slight overlap, painting stops being surface and becomes a path: a tactile fiction fed by earth and air that brings closer what never quite touches, action and contemplation, sky and earth.
Remote locations
Remote places are both nearby and very far away. Proximity is provided by desire; distance is imposed by the difficulty—or impossibility—of fulfilling or encountering that desire. Remote places are mental places built by intuition and by the idea that there are spaces, far from everyday space, where one can realize the wholeness of the person or dwell according to the idea each individual has constructed of existence, or the place where the possibility of another existence appears.
