2024: Vilan / The hibernation
Mercè Torres Ràfols
Mercè Torres Ràfols is a Catalan visual artist based in Gothenburg. Her practice based in photography operates at the intersection of site-making and local historiography. Central to her work are questions of cultural heritage and linguistic traditions, embedded in specific geographies.
Torres Ràfols engages in site-specific visual investigations that consider how places are traversed by time. Her work examines the epistemologies of territory—how knowledge is transmitted, disrupted, and reconstituted—and reflects on the processes through which histories are understood and reinterpreted. She is particularly interested in how landscapes bear traces of different inhabitants, questioning linear narratives of historical continuity within agriculture and fishing, systems of time reckoning, and methods of communication.
