Cuerpo Gris by Martillo Neumatico
CUERPO GRIS

2022

Gau Zuria, Bilbao, Spain

Cuerpo Gris (Grey Body), is a site-specific intervention spreading over the cloister of the former Convento de la Encarnación. In a few minutes, a continuous, slinky, and soft body appears to disrupt the archery’s repetitive language and the carved stones’ rigid tectonic. An organic volume composed by three tangent parts that alternatively immobilizes you, rolls you up softly in intimate spaces, expels you or invites you to straddle it. The monstrous appearance confronts the human body with a strange presence which is never revealed completely.
