“On how I found a photo of a menu listing on the street and ended up searching for Hemingway at my grandparents’ house”

Since 1996, I’ve been gathering objects (mainly flat and made of paper) that I’ve found on the street: mundane items, scraps that were part of something, or fragments of discarded objects.

Inventario is an unlikely journey through an aspect of memory: both my memory and the collective memory, through objects and intuition; a potential game that moves between fiction and reality and that traverses an emotional geography encompassing everything from the supposedly insignificant to the most essential.

I use my body as a live archive: using autobiographical fragments, memory is returned to objects, creating a map with endless ramifications and, like a rhizome, each story folds back on itself multiplied into infinite versions, allowing language all its possibilities and letting it become a tool for action.


“My research/creation processes start with an autobiographical identity (me) that becomes an expanded identity (us) where concepts such as memory, imagination, time, and reality/fiction come together and into play to be conceived of from a different place, and to move from the personal to the social and back again.”

Formed, deformed and transformed between Burgos, Madrid, London and New York, Barbara Bañuelos combines her stage work with musical projects.

90 dB was her first dramatic work, and won her the Injuve 2009 award.
With Inventario, memorias de una aspiradora she has transited the floors of stages and exhibition halls such as MUSAC (Leon), Artium (Vitoria-Gasteiz), CaixaForum (Barcelona, Zaragoza), Teatro Pradillo (Madrid) and Escena Abierta (Burgos). Her latest work is Mi padre no era un famoso escritor ruso, un documental escénico, a reflection on body and mental suffering presented at BAD Bilbao: Festival de Teatro y Danza Contemporánea, Festival SÂLMON< (Mercat de les Flors) and La Casa Encendida. She is currently working on two new projects: Hacer Noche, una lectura audiovisual, on work precarity, and La mujer (del) Francotirador, un ejercicio de suelo, on body and literature.
