Untitled Performances with Esther Ferrer

The second edition of the series The Chairs of Tàpies is fortunate to feature Esther Ferrer, a pioneering figure in action art who has made her body an essential tool for resistance, expression and thought. Ferrer sees the body not just as matter, but as a symbolic medium for experiences, memories and conflicts. Her practice works with the persistence of gesture, the construction of time by repetition and the ability of the body to store and transmit, almost like a written skin, the tensions between the I and the world.

On the basis of silence, humour and radicalism, from a coherent, free positioning, she confronts convention, offering a distinctive view of how bodies resist and explain, becoming sensitive archives of identity, absence and presence. Within this framework, Ferrer will therefore be inviting us to celebrate gesture as living memory, as a place from which the body appeals, questions and transforms itself.
