7 zelatari eta dorretxe bat (7 sentinels and a tower house) (2005-2017) is an installation that presents seven videos of seven works by Jorge Oteiza (Orio, 1908-San Sebastian, 2004) and of the house museum designed by his friend, Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza (Cáseda, Navarre, 1918-Madrid, 2000) in Altzuza, Navarre.

The images were recorded during daylight hours and show the Altzuza Museum and the seven pieces strategically placed by Oteiza on the land, creating and forming a landscape charged with historic, cultural and social references.

The exhibition comprises the eight videos by Manuel Asín (Zaragoza 1978) and several pine structures on which the screens are placed to offer different viewing heights and angles. The goal of the exhibition is to communicate the singularities of the filmed works, as well as those of the 'Oteizan' landscape. To this end, a constellation of moving images that illustrate both the physical and ideological geography of Jorge Oteiza is presented.
