Julio Victoria and Bernardo Ortiz

TODO SOBREVIVIRÁ

Visual artist Bernardo Ortiz and electronic musician Julio Victoria collaborated on a project that examined how drawing and sound can form and reshape one another.

Released under the title Todo Sobrevivirá (Everything Will Survive), the work consisted of five electronic pieces pressed on a limited 12” vinyl. The project grew out of an extended exchange between both artists, who were interested in how written marks, geometric structures, and fragments of language might resonate in the realm of music. Ortiz’s text-driven drawings became prompts for Victoria’s compositions, where loops, rhythmic pulses, and shifting tonal layers created an atmosphere of constant subtle motion.

Rather than merging their mediums, the two chose to strip them down by listening closely, looking closely, and allowing quiet correspondences to surface. Todo Sobrevivirá marked a moment of exploration that opened new directions in each artist’s practice.

The publication of the vinyl coincided with Ortiz’s solo exhibition Balada Tautológica at Casas Riegner, presented as part of the gallery’s newly launched sound program supported by Bodega Piloto.
