Since 2012, Elise Eeraerts & Roberto Aparicio Ronda have been developing a multidisciplinary practice focusing primarily on the relationship between art and architecture. Their projects take shape in natural environments or urban public space, where site-specificity, history, and material transformations form the subject of their research.

As the most primitive material, earth occupies a central role within their practice, ranging from explorations of land and excavations within it to the appropriation of various types of soil and their processing into objects and spatial installations. In their recent work, Eeraerts and Aparicio Ronda examine the role of land and landscape from a climate science perspective. In a thought-provoking, often visceral manner, they allow current conventions of the Anthropocene to collide with ideas and traditions through which humans have appropriated, and continue to appropriate, nature.

Elise Eeraerts studied visual art at LUCA School of Arts (Brussels), at the Institute for Spatial Experiments, Class Olafur Eliasson, UdK (Berlin), and completed an internship at Studio Carsten Nicolai. Her artistic practice has received multiple grants and awards and has been exhibited internationally. 

Roberto Aparicio Ronda studied architecture at E.T.S. Arquitectura (Valladolid) and visual arts at the Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (Bilbao). He worked as an architect for various international offices, including OMA, Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Rotterdam (NL), and Kengo Kuma and Associates, Tokyo (JP).
