It is a departure from the grand narratives and desolate landscapes of previous works, shifting instead to a spontaneous encounter with intimacy and simplicity. The challenges of exhibiting audiovisual pieces in a gallery lead her to propose her own innovative ways of displaying her work within the white cube.

The work, which began in 2024, captures the creative processes behind handmade objects such as a wooden bowling pin, a spherical cake, and lace embroidery. Her first “projection booth,” developed in collaboration with architect Diego Sologuren, will be expanded and solidified in 2025 during her residency at Azkuna Zentroa as part of the Babestu programme.

In “El tacto del contacto”  the artist immerses herself with her analogue camera in “the art of working with the hands, where repetitive, rhythmic movements reveal a silent dialogue with time and material”. She conceives the editing of images “from a state in which a firm gaze attempts to understand the encounter with the image as though it were a tactile experience, an editing process that can be seen and heard as much as it is touched”. The ultimate goal is to create a new “projection booth” specifically designed for viewing one of the film pieces.

Additionally, she will lead a workshop on cameraless filmmaking and an expanded cinema performance during her residency.

“The future of moving images in exhibition spaces is uncertain”, according to García. She believes it is essential “to reconsider the role of the audience, as well as the boundaries of the screen and even the exhibition space itself”.

In this regard, García notes that “Developing my project at Azkuna Zentroa – Alhóndiga allows me to consolidate my career in Bilbao and gives me the opportunity to showcase my work to a broad and diverse audience.”
