Project in residence

Paso de gigantes

Cristina Ferrández will develop the Paso de Gigantes installation during a production residency at LABoral. This work will be the contribution of the Center for Art and Industrial Creation to the 2014 Miradas de Mujeres Festival.

Giants Pass(2013) refers us, as a visual cartography, to a predicted geography: enclaves linked to the transformations of the landscape due to large public works infrastructures in a state of suspension, and to singular buildings of cultural, scientific or social scope in abandonment, built or rehabilitated with public funds.

Cristina Ferrández works in the area of ​​artistic creation as a critical and reflective process, developing visual projects that value the territory, raising reviews and questions towards our relationship and inhabiting the landscape.
