Body Ebro (La Entrega III)
2025 – ongoing
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.
A project conceived and carried out in collaboration with Celeste Reyna and produced in partnership with Lo Pati, Terres de l’Ebre Art Centre. Curated by Andrea Pacheco González.

“La Entrega” is a project conceived as a set of actions –acts– where walking, understood as an aesthetic and creative practice, is the primary motor. In Catalan and Spanish, the title of the project plays with the double meaning of the word “entrega” (“dedication” or “delivery”), which refers to the idea of consignment and at the same time to the idea of abnegation, a common characteristic of artistic practice and walking.
