Cos d’Ebre is a research project by Marco Noris that presents walking as an artistic experience. For eighty days, between April and July 2025, he travelled along the banks of the Ebro from its geological source at Pico de Tres Mares (Cantabria) to its mouth in the Mediterranean, crossing seven autonomous communities.
The project, in collaboration with the psychoanalyst Celeste Reyna, explores the river in three dimensions: body, border and archive. On the journey—sometimes alone, often accompanied—it stages a dialogue between human-body and river-body from physical, political and spiritual perspectives. The flowing torrent becomes a space of memory that holds and activates stories and experiences.
The exhibition at Lo Pati brings together videos, photographs, sound recordings, ceramics, watercolours on paper, paintings on fabric, organic remains and found objects. It also includes the project Sequere (2022–24) and the Roman piece Representación figurativa del río Ebro from the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona.
Cos d’Ebre proposes a real-time reading of the territory, where walking activates an embodiment that links geography, history, ecology and community. The works bear witness—always incomplete—to a journey and to the attempt to inhabit the world with what the body can carry.
