MARC BIBILONI presents Hollow Bones / Huesos Huecos, an exhibition by Swiss artist Bianca Barandun (b. 1984), curated by Kosme de Barañano y Letamendía. This show, Barandun’s first solo exhibition in Spain, confirms the international relevance of an artist who has been widely recognized in Switzerland and Germany for the poetic strength and technical precision of her work.

The title of the exhibition refers to the hollow bones of birds—light, air-filled structures that paradoxically give them the strength to fly. From this image, Barandun builds a reflection on fragility as a source of balance, and on the capacity of the body (and matter) to contain the invisible.

The exhibition presents an ambitious ensemble of ceramic sculptures, hand-carved wooden pieces, reliefs, and drawings, creating an immersive environment that envelops the viewer in a silent yet vibrant atmosphere. The works are arranged in the space as a self-contained ecosystem, where forms evoke the rhythm of flight, the resonance of song, and the natural architecture of nests.

Each piece emerges from a dialogue between careful observation and intuition. In her ceramic reliefs— created through a three-dimensional printing process using linoleum, silicone, and pigmented liquid clay— the artist explores the relationship between gesture and surface, between line and volume. In her hand- carved wooden sculptures, matter takes on an almost organic character: suspended bodies, structures that recall feathers, branches, or shelters, seeming to lighten their weight to become part of the air itself.

Hollow Bones offers an immersive journey where technical precision meets profound spirituality. The artist invites the viewer to listen with their eyes, to perceive the presence of air, and to discover the strength contained in lightness. Her work reminds us that what is essential is not always visible, but rather found in the breath that unites all things.
