That Tomb That Knows No Sound

In her first solo exhibition at Marquee Projects, Ruiz explores themes and variations concerning interiority: subterranean interiors of the earth (soil, water, insects, human and animal remains); interiors of religious systems (ritual, power, tradition); and interiors of the human body (mutation, decay, birth, violation). She investigates commonalities between these internal systems, their shared duration over time, and the external forces which act upon them – what is buried and kept, and what is mined, extracted, or taken. The Tomb That Knows No Sound incorporates sculpture and video-based work to investigate what happens when the interior is made visible, when stillness is interrupted by force, and when the sacred is disturbed.
