Sequere (La Entrega II)
2022–2024
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.
A project by Marco Noris, conceived and carried out in collaboration with Celeste Reyna and produced with the collaboration of the Institut d’Estudis Ilerdencs / Diputació de Lleida.

Info and links
Sequere (Latin for to follow, to flow; pron. secuere) is one of the ancient toponyms of the Segre River, as well as its pre-Roman names Seikw and Síkor.
“La Entrega” is a project conceived as a set of actions—acts—in which walking is the main driving force. The title refers to the double meaning of the word: to give and to give oneself, an ambivalence common to both artistic practice and the act of walking.
