BIO
(°1993, Belgium) Growing up with an Argentinian father and Belgian/Dutch mother I have always been naturally attracted to the themes of culture and identity. I became quickly aware of the importance and beauty of intercultural understanding. This is reflected in my choice of medium. Through the universal language of image, I search for a common understanding.
I graduated in 2018 with a Masters Degree in Audiovisual Arts at the LUCA school of Arts in Brussels, with a focus on ethnographic filmmaking. Since then, my work travels through multidisciplinary platforms like art centers, film festivals and exhibitions, with documentary films, multimedia installations and photography.
I mostly work with documentary images and often start off with the observations of everyday situations and encounters. Afterwards, I depict and capture the elements that are based on rhythm, repetition, cultural habits, routines and gestures. I conceptualize them, often by enlarging or distorting their time and space, offering the same view, but presented in a different tempo or format. It makes everything slide into a slightly different frame, yet it remains recognizable.
This with 2 intentions: 1. through their poetic characteristiscs, revealing the universal elements and connections around us. 2. As a anthropological tool for the viewer to indicate similarities of differences with their own reality.
