Abel Jaramillo and the poetics of fire

The artist Abel Jaramillo (Badajoz, 1993) closes his residency at Azkuna Zentroa with the proposal 'Ninguna noche en llamas', part of the Babestu program to support creation. This multidisciplinary exploration combines moving images and writing, reflecting on narrative mechanisms, the transformations of language and the persistence of images over time.

The project is made up of several stories that, through fire, connect spaces, times and stories. Jaramillo unfolds a modular film through stories that dialogue with fire, a fire that is metaphor and reality, a meeting point between fiction and memory. This exhibition, which can be visited until January 12, is presented as an invitation to rethink stories and at the same time explore their transformative power.

'Tres escenas', Abel Jaramillo

Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Castilla-La Mancha and the University of Lisbon, with a master's degree in Contemporary, Technological and Performative Art from the University of the Basque Country, Jaramillo develops an artistic practice that explores the fissures and margins of history. His projects often explore specific contexts, the poetics linked to specific places. Combining installation, moving image and writing, Jaramillo proposes a different way of constructing history: from below, from the margins, from the periphery. His works are a critical exploration of the frictions and conflicts that arise when places, actions and images intersect.
