Series
Vertical landscape
Vertical landscape rethinks our relationship with territory from the machine’s gaze—satellites, drones, orthophotos—removing the observer—the artist’s body—from traditional landscape painting.
Water Records
This series of watercolours, made with river water during the journeys of Sequere (2022) and Cos d’Ebre (2025), seeks to fix the river’s memory—materially and symbolically—on paper.
Abstract cartography
Maps, toponyms and other cartographic representations
Envall notebooks
These works are part of the project Enllumenant el buit (Illuminating the Void), which explores the history and repopulation of the village of Envall. They are process-based works: two notebooks conceived as abstract cartographies that document field research.
Garzón Maps
These cartographies were made by Marco Noris during his residency at Campo Garzón, Uruguay. The pictorial process began by using the waters of the Garzón stream to capture snapshots of the land on paper and canvas, representing the territory through the action of water and natural processes such as wind, sun and rain.
Sequere Maps
28 maps from the Sequere project journey. Each work corresponds to a day of walking and forms a recording device: the stretch of river, the walked route, the toponyms and field notes are articulated in a processual cartography where time, body and territory are fixed on paper.
Sequere, toponyms
“Sequere, toponyms” is a work that weaves together cartography, language, and body. It consists of a paper map that brings together 4,436 place names from the Sequere route and a 2 h 23 m sound piece in which the artist speaks them continuously. The sustained enumeration turns the proper name into a unit of time and effort, making the voice a measure of walking. Vocal exhaustion inscribes the body into the territory and shifts cartography from the visual plane to a performative experience, where memory, journey, and language overlap as a physical record of transit.
Impossible Territories
Pictorial research on walking, based on the Grand Tour 2020 journey organized by Nau Côclea. Impossible Territories investigates the boundaries between experience, territory and symbolic representation.
Night Maps of the Coma de Burg
Night Maps of the Coma de Burg is a series of paintings made in the Lleida Pyrenees during the second phase of the project La Entrega, acto I, developed by Noris during an artist residency in the village of Farrera.
Caravaggio
This series revisits the luministic and emotional tension of chiaroscuro to reinterpret works by Caravaggio through a contemporary gaze. In these works, the contrast between light and shadow becomes a conceptual structure: blurred figures emerging from darkness condense body, violence, and spirituality within a dense and radical pictorial space.
