Leonor Serrano Rivas’s multifaceted work is always based on in-depth research and often takes medieval history as its starting point, or more precisely, the transmission of knowledge via the spoken, communicated word, via songs, interwoven motifs or rituals—sometimes forbidden yet passed on nevertheless, mostly by women. In her extensive new ensemble of works realized especially for the Kunsthaus, the Spanish artist combines objects, textiles and performance/video in a multilayered narrative to create a poetic source of knowledge.
