Edurne Rubio (Bilbao, 1974) is a Spanish-Belgian artist who­se work inha­bits the inter­sec­ti­on of visu­al arts, per­for­ming arts, and cine­ma. Since moving to Belgium 25 years ago, she has devel­o­ped a hybrid prac­ti­ce root­ed in long-term research peri­ods. Her tra­jec­to­ry evol­ved from visu­al arts toward the per­for­ming arts and film, con­sis­tent­ly main­tai­ning an expe­ri­men­tal charac­ter and a strong visu­al focus.

Her oeu­vre explo­res the com­plex rela­ti­ons­hip bet­ween huma­ni­ty, lands­ca­pe, and (poli­ti­cal) memo­ry. A pivo­tal moment in her artis­tic career was the per­for­man­ce Light Years Away (2016, KWP), in which she con­nec­ted her father’s spe­le­o­lo­gi­cal dis­co­ve­ries to the under­ground resis­tan­ce against the Spanish dic­ta­tor­ship. This the­me con­ti­nued in her film Ojo Guareña (2018, Argos Centre). More recent­ly, Rubio inves­ti­ga­ted mete­o­ro­lo­gi­cal phe­no­me­na, as seen in the lar­ge-sca­le pro­duc­ti­on A Nublo (2021, KWP).

Currently, within her long­term pro­ject MIST, she is wor­king on the per­for­man­ce TINIEBLAS (2026, KWP), the fic­ti­on film MIST (2027, Hilife), and a docu­men­ta­ry for WIELS (2026). Additionally, Rubio fre­quent­ly cre­a­tes in situ works for part­ners such as Argos, Kaaitheater, and the Spanish National Drama Centre. As a guest lec­tu­rer, she sha­res her exper­ti­se with insti­tu­tes like a.pass and ERG. Her work con­sis­tent­ly trans­forms local, per­so­nal his­to­ries into uni­ver­sal, sen­so­ry expe­rien­ces that reach a broad inter­na­ti­o­nal audience.
