Immersion @ Adélard
Artist in immersion 2022 @ Adélard
July - September, 2022
Frelighsburg, Quebec, Canada.
Papalotes (kites) made with the collaboration of Ariel García
This series of work continues the research-creation process that Maria Ezcurra began in 2018 on migratory birds, more particularly on the so-called neotropical species, which fly every year between Quebec and the south of the American continent. Developed during her 6-week residency at Adélard, this work is inspired by the birds the artist saw in Frelighsburg, as well as the connections she made with the region's community through birding and other common interests. Her residency project considers the dependency relationship between nature and human activity, exploring and revealing the sometimes invisible and often problematic links between bird migration and environmental and social issues. Thus, her work examines and reformulates the physical, emotional, environmental and cultural limits of the body and the connection with the place it inhabits.
