Enrique Ramírez

EXPOSITION « Le regard flottant » d’Enrique Ramirez du 15 mars 2026 au 21 juin 2026 🥂Vernissage le samedi 14 mars à 18h Dans l’œuvre d’Enrique Ramírez, la mer revient inlassablement, à la fois ligne d’horizon et lieu de disparition. À travers la photographie, l’installation, la peinture et la vidéo, l’artiste croise de grandes questions contemporaines toujours liées, poétiquement, à son parcours biographique : la liberté de circulation et la fermeture des frontières, les relations entre histoire et mémoire, le métissage des cultures et les conflits géopolitiques. Ses premières vidéos rappellent les victimes de la dictature chilienne jetées dans l’océan Pacifique. Arrivé en France, il réalise des travaux évoquant la situation des migrants qui tentent de traverser la Méditerranée. Pour autant, Enrique Ramirez ne délivre aucun message politique. Sa recherche protéiforme passe par l’esquisse, le fragment et l’assemblage : porter un « regard flottant » sur la réalité paraît ici le moyen le plus juste de l’approcher. 🗓️ Venez découvrir l’exposition et rencontrer l’artiste le dimanche 15 mars à 11h ! — Entrée libre Ouvert du mercredi au dimanche de 14h à 18h 107, avenue de Paris, Cherbourg À très vite au Point du Jour ! 👋 📷 Enrique Ramirez, extrait de « INcoming », 2017 (vidéo HD, couleur, son, 17 min.)

#FocusOn In his practice, Enrique Ramírez combines video, photography, sound, and in stallation to explore narrative forms in which dream and reality merge, transcending boundaries and historical periods. Maintaining a delicate balance between the poetic and the political, Ramírez constructs layered narratives centered on a recurring, almost obsessive element: the sea. A space of memory in perpetual motion, the sea becomes a site of narrative projection where the destiny of Chile, his country of origin, intertwines with broader histories of travel, conquest, and migration. The exhibition layout, conceived as a temporal sequence, spans a wide range of techniques and materials, including photography, collage, installations, video, sculpture, and sound. Ramìrez works invite viewers to slow down and inhabit moments of waiting, loss, and hope.

On view ↘ Make Haste Slowly – Conversation Piece Part XI Alicja Kwade × Paul Maheke × Enrique Ramírez × Prem Sahib × Henry Taylor 📍 Fondazione Memmo, Rome 🗓 January 15–May 12, 2026. Inspirée de l’expression latine festina lente (« hâte-toi lentement »), l’exposition explore la tension entre urgence et lenteur, intuition et durée. À travers des œuvres spécialement produites pour la Fondazione Memmo, les artistes interrogent notre perception du temps, de la mémoire et de la transformation, faisant de l’œuvre un véritable « chronomètre poétique ». Inspired by the Latin phrase festina lente (“make haste slowly”), the exhibition explores the tension between urgency and slowness, intuition and duration. Through newly commissioned and site-specific works, the artists reflect on time, memory, and transformation, turning the artwork into a poetic timekeeper.

Very happy to present my work at Fondazione Memmo in Rome. The exhibition unfolds as a timeline, where video, photography, sound, collage, and installation come together as layers of time and memory. The sea runs through the project as a space of transit, disappearance, and projection, moving between the poetic and the political. AFFRETTATI LENTAMENTE: Conversation Piece Part XI’ runs from 15 January to 12 April 2026, curated by Marcello Smarrelli @marcellosmarrelli , featuring works by Alicja Kwade, Paul Maheke, Prem Sahib, Henry Taylor, and myself. Thanks you to @fondazionememmo Marcello Smarrelli, Angelica Gatto, and the entire team for the invitation, support, and for making this exhibition possible.

After studying film and music, Enrique Ramirez joined Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains. Working across film, installation, and photography, he investigates history and the contemporary world through layered visual and auditory narratives. At the core of his practice, the sea holds a privileged place: a space of passage, memory, and tension. Water becomes both border and archive, a way to reflect on uprootedness, distance, and the fragility of the human condition. Among his recent exhibitions are: “The gesture where the sea is made”, Michael Rein, Brussels (2025); “Admist the tumult of silent eyes”, curators Wang Jiang & Yu Yue,Tang+Yao gallery, Beijing (2024); “El lento clamor del viento”, galerie Michel Rein, Paris(2023); “El Imposible Paisaje”, Parque de la memoria, Buenos Aires (2023); “L’Outre paysage”, Louvre-Lens, Lens (2022); “Nos fuimos volviendo viento”, galerie Leyendecker, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, (2022). He is a fellow at the Accademia di Francia Villa Medici (2025/26).

Una distanza senza rive. “Among the uprooted, a rift: a river, an ocean, a distance without shores.” The project will take place at the Dogana d’Acqua in Verona — a place of crossings, memory, and silence. A sound performance and luminous installation that speak of migration, borders, and the invisible ties between bodies and water. Curated by Pascale Cassagnau Conceived with Laura Lamonea Performance in collaboration with Camilla Monga Presented for @artverona 2025. #ArtVerona #EnriqueRamirez #SoundPerformance #ContemporaryArt #Installation #Migration #Memory #Water #DoganaDAcqua

A Enrique Ramírez (@enriqueramirezf ) le gusta trabajar con historias dentro de historias, ficciones a caballo entre distintos países y épocas, espejismos surgidos de la brecha entre sueño y realidad. A menudo utiliza imágenes y sonido para desarrollar intrincadas tramas que logran un sutil equilibrio entre poesía y política. Su mundo imaginario de temas entrelazados está anclado en un elemento obsesivamente recurrente en la raíz de todas sus meditaciones: el mar como lugar de la memoria en perpetuo movimiento sobre el que puede proyectar narraciones en las que el destino de Chile se cruza con relatos épicos de viajes lejanos, conquistas y mareas migratorias cambiantes. Sus imágenes inspiradas en el mar cuentan una desconcertante historia de la verdad siempre esquiva, así como la corriente de la historia, siempre la misma pero nunca idéntica. 🔗📘 Encontrá su libro “En busca del viento perdido”, editado por Toluca Ediciones, en nuestra tienda online a través del link en nuestro perfil. Fundación Larivière ⚠️ La librería permanecerá cerrada hasta las próximas inauguraciones el 29 de marzo. #Enbuscadelvientoperdido #Insearchoflostwind #fotografíachilena

El artista visual Enrique Ramírez acaba de lanzar junto al compositor francés Matthias Puech, un disco de seis piezas grabado durante una performance de ocho horas en el Museo Louvre-Lens. A través de música generativa, el álbum fusiona las nociones tradicionales que subyacen entre naturaleza y artificialidad, e invita al oyente a conocer nuevos paisajes atemporales, resultado de la investigación sonora electrónica de ambos artistas.

Enrique Ramírez – Mirror A suspended sail, turned upside down, becomes a map. Its contours echo América Invertida (1943) by Uruguayan artist Joaquín Torres García — a symbolic reversal of North and South that reclaims Latin America’s centrality in the world. In Mirror, the sail no longer navigates the sea — it becomes a landscape, a poetic and political gesture. A way to look at the world differently, from the South looking North. The work is presented as part of minimal, minimal, a group exhibition at Poush (La Coupole, Aubervilliers) from May 22 to July 19, 2025, curated by Yvannoé Kruger. Bringing together 24 artists, the show reflects on reduction, traces, and mass-produced objects imbued with history. It invites us to focus on discreet forms and silent gestures that, in their simplicity, speak profoundly of the world.
