The Basque artist applied for a monthly residency organized in cooperation with the Cultural Zone Wrocław and the Etxepare Basque Institute. The artist proposed Wrocław an artistic project referring to current problems of contemporary times. The artist calls the 21st century "the era of the neoliberal capitalist era of progress", in which one can observe a definite overproduction of information coming from everywhere. Critically perceived by the artist, the digital and Internet images have become an inspiration to depict the anthropocentric attitude. The project is scheduled for November and the residence itself is seen as a process, not a product. Unfortunately, due to security measures related to COVID-19 the date of residency is postponed to 2021.
