"Carne y arena" installation by Alejandro González Iñárritu, which can be visited at EITB headquarters in Bilbao
Carne and arena Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu's virtual reality installation will be on the 5th set of EITB's headquarters in Bilbao from March 11 to June 20. It places visitors in the middle of a part of the journey of Mexican and Central American migrants and refugees.
Tickets can be purchased on the EITB website from February 17 for 11.21 euros.
The installation will arrive in Bilbao through the Bilbao City Council, the Diputación Foral de Bizkaia, the BBK Banco Foundation and EITB, and, according to those responsible for the project, the project "will have the active participation of Iñárritu and will participate in conferences, public talks and meetings aimed at citizens, the university area and the film industry to address issues of migration and coexistence, art and technology".
Carne and the arena premiered in 2017 at the 70th Cannes Festival, and the Hollywood Academy awarded him an Oscar that same year, considering it an "extraordinary narrative experience."
In total, the work proposes a 15-minute experience, including six and a half minutes of virtual reality performance, and "the visitor does not see migration: it goes through it."
In Iñárritu's words, this work arose from the desire to "break the dictatorship of framing" and to enable a direct experience, "walking with the feet of migrants, under their skin and within their hearts."
For the director, the symbolic dimension of the start of the tour in the Basque Country is undeniable, and he has remembered the solidarity that the Mexican people showed to the Basque exiles after the Spanish Civil War and how he also has family ties with the Basque Country.
