In 2021, La Ribot presented Distinguished Anyways at the Spanish Academy in Rome, four pieces that played with sunlight and paint, as part of her project, ?Distinguished Pieces?, developed since 1993. One of these was created specifically for the occasion, creating a dialogue with a specific place. If these pieces were previously presented in theatrical or museum spaces, now they approach architecture, history and even astronomy to create an ephemeral space for representation within a place as peculiar as the Academy. Distinguished Anyways is not only a reflection on the career of an unclassifiable artist at her best, but it is the first book to celebrate one hundred and fifty years of the Spanish Academy in Rome. Text in English, Spanish and Italian. AUTHORS: La Ribot (Madrid, 1962) is a dancer, choreographer and visual artist.
