We at the Tabakalera cinema wanted to schedule two screenings in dialogue with the exhibition  Larruak eta izurrak (Skins and Folds) curated by Laura Vallés. To do so, we had various conversations with the curator and, after sharing ideas and views, we developed a programme of two sessions comprised of different artists and filmmakers.

On one had is the first session comprised of two short films. The first is Sun tunnels (1978) from American artist Nancy Holt, who is known above all for her LandArt or sculpture work in public spaces, but also worked with other mediums such as film. “My films, videotapes, and book, also conceived of in a perceptual framework, are usually evocations of landscapes or displacements of places. Indications of space (through tracking, pans, aerial, and walking shots) and aspects of nature—sunlight patterns, billowing dust, water reflections—are caught visually and transported elsewhere via film through time, while the psychology of the place is disclosed through the local voices, sounds, and/or music in the sound tracks, or accompanying text.” (The artist’s statement for Video Data Bank, 1988.) 

On the other hand is a piece entitled Core (2022) created by sculptor June Crespo, who participated in the Larruak eta izurrak exhibition, and filmmaker Maddi Barber.
