AGUSTÍN ORTIZ HERRERAIlluminated Gnosis

The feature film Illuminated Gnosis was originally presented as part of the exhibition "The tradition that runs through us", that took place in Santa Mònica in 2022. That context is notoriously different from the current one at Sismógrafo, and that is why we suggest a screening dedicated to the full audiovisual project, accompanied by the director, who will be able to share details of the creative process, the premisses he worked with, the team who made it possible, and the conceptual context in which it was conceived. 

Agustín Ortiz Herrera studied fine arts at the University of Barcelona and film directing at The New School University in New York. His artistic practice develops at the intersection of audiovisual, performance, and installation. He uses these mediums to explore the possibilities of the Queer in a patriarch-colonial context fueled by the mastery of audiovisual persuasion and normative representation of memory.

This session is part of the parallel programme of the exhibition Prototypes of insituting desire. Santa Mònica to Sismógrafo, curated by Clara Laguillo.
