The Gernika Peace Museum and the research group MHLI (Historical Memory in Iberian Literatures), presents the sound installation “Burnt Air”, by the artist Xabier Erkizia (Lesaka, 1975). 

As presented by the organizers: “the installation is a reflection on the noise of war, linked to the broad-ranging and complex imaginary of war in terms of how it has been constructed not only through images, but through sound too. Few approaches exist that seek to explore the sounds of war, despite the fact that armed conflicts involve all senses, hearing most particularly.

What does war sound like? This is the question the artist asked himself when making this installation. Based on the description provided by a witness to the bombing of Gernika, Erkizia explores the notion of Aire errea (Burned air), which refers to the fire that raged after the attack”
