Eduard Ruiz
Summer Sessions Residency
July - September 2021
Eduard Ruiz. Sant Boi del Llobregat, 1990.
He lives and works in Barcelona.
Seeking to establish a bridge between space and policies that condition human behavior, Eduard’s practice practice investigates the relationships between territory and those forms that define it, maps, landscapes that appear on the banknotes, passports, and parts found in it as forgotten objects and hidden vegetation species.
A feature of Eduardo’s works is the use of materials considered trivial, which eliminates their conventional meaning and ensures that what was intended for a specific use can be considered an autonomous work.
