The project 'Multiscreen 01' by artist Laura Ramírez Ashbaugh is part of the delocalized itinerary "1+1+1...", that will unfold throughout the Gothic and El Born neighborhoods from November 9th to 21st.
Multiscreen 01 documents the impulse of a body that needs to see itself, to reflect itself, to move, to crawl, to study itself, to recognize. References to live arts and the notion of the fourth wall mesh with image ontology and self-representation in this visual and sound experiment. The creation and development of Multiscreen 01 is a meeting between the gaze and matter: artistic practice confined within digital media, bodies framed by the screen and performed through bytes. Various disciplines converge, mediated by the collective imagination of the digital devices, the scene being an ordinary computer desktop, choreographed by the mouse arrow. The result is a digital performance that is both a visual essay and the instinct of self-representation; it is a game of mirrors between the webcam’s mechanical eye and the viewers visiting the Museu Picasso.
Laura Ramírez is interested in the notions of landscape, ambiguous bodies, intermediate spaces and the mix of feeling and the beat, and her practice is focused on reflecting on and exploring dance and choreography. She actively works with Ainhoa Hernández, with whom she created the Twins Experiment collective in 2014, and she is currently beginning her project as a DJ. Moreover, she has collaborated in artworks by María Jerez, Cris Blanco, Play Dramaturgia or Quim Bigas. With regards to her work as a creator and performer, which mainly takes place between Madrid, Barcelona and France, she gives workshops, movement classes and provides support as a tutor, following up on a number of artists and collectives. She has created study spaces such as MovLab at La Casa Encendida, or reading spaces such as EL CLUB at the Teatros del Canal. She is working on the creation of a sport to disappear alongside Andrea Zavala and on musical and textual projects. As a mediator, she actively collaborates with the department of education of the Reina Sofía museum. She has displayed her latest creations and collaborations in France, Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay, the US and Spain.
