Here, the ground is epidermis, a fertile space of porosity between animals, humans, mountains, plants, rivers, ancestors and meteors. Peasant voices and bodies emerge. Here, the Basque Country.
Photographs, collection of archives and collection of words, these fragments of reality come together in 12 polyphonies+1 to weave an imaginary score. Here, the worlds of the visible and the invisible, the buried and the surface, come together in a cycle of life and death.
Têtes Noires/Buru Beltza thus sketches a geopoetic of the territory and takes a carnal look at a peasant way of inhabiting the land.
Here, an echo of the doubts that mark our contemporary worlds in other geographies.
