Ara repeteix: D-I-N-S LA M-U-N-T-A-NY-A

A new work by Job Ramos developed within the framework of the Carta Verda – an initiative by Sismògraf that offers time, space and resources to an artist, with no dates, no deadlines, no fixed starting point and no predetermined path.

Ara repeteix: D-I-N-S L-A M-U-N-T-A-N-Y-A begins with a shared image: water seeping through the Bracons tunnel – a gesture of resistance by rock and water against the grandiosity of engineering. It is also the opening of a film that does not yet exist.
The piece takes the form of a live talk that draws on excerpts from a cinema that peers inside mountains, treating cinema itself as raw material and pulling it towards a hybrid space where word, body and projection meet. Somewhere between film forum and performance, and not quite either.

Job Ramos has worked across installation, cinema, sound and performance. His projects are often rooted in site-specific practice, exploring the relationships between the natural and the artificial and creating situations of strangeness far removed from any notion of utility. His practice engages with place, materiality and the forces that shape them; working from a kind of ultra-local ethnography, he explores spaces, modifies their tempos and inverts their roles of domination and power through intensive, iterative research – pushing repetition to its limits – in search of the accident. His work has been shown internationally.
