The piece that Garmendia created especially for the exhibition Garmendia, Maneros Zabala, Salaberria. Process and Method, held at the Museum in 2013, Ikaraundi – EQDALOS (Head Kneeling Against the Wall) (Ikaraundi – EQDALOS [burua paretan kontra belaunikatuta]) (2013), is a synthesis of his work to date. Taking as his starting point the few existing photographic records of Jorge Oteiza’s bust of painter José Sarriegui (no longer extant), Garmendia applies industrial engineering processes to his own engineering of memory and recollection in a direct, radical way. The consequences of this procedure are presented in different formats, such as a video that focuses on the head as its central motif, underscoring its objectual and iconic nature in a manner reminiscent of Garmendia’s works Bomber (2013) and Untitled Orbea (Orduña), where spectacularity is conspicuously absent. The narrative quality hinges on how the actions were recorded; however, in Ikaraundi, the actions are contaminated by the artist’s own voice as it tells a disjointed tale that jumps back and forth in time. Thus, the artist configures a personal puzzle and presents it to both the audience and himself.
