Aura Vega
Artist, Camera-less cinema, Cinema
Spain
Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Malaga (2021) and master’s degree at LAV (Madrid, 2022) —Audiovisual Laboratory for Contemporary Creation and Practices—, where she was able to further develop her concern for cinema and more specifically for structural film and no camera filmmaking (she began to investigate this practice thanks to the workshops run by the artist Deneb Martos).
She has shown her work in festivals such as [S8] Mostra de Cinema Periférico (2021, A Coruña) and in group exhibitions such as Present Absence (2021) for the Salisbury University Art Galleries in Maryland (USA), at Fulton Hall Gallery; or in Variaciones del azar in ACME Estudio (2022, Madrid).
In her most recent works there is a strong inclination for displacement and decontextualization, from everyday behaviours and domestic actions to more concrete practices such as writing, which is transferred to different areas such as cinema or drawing, which may be seen as unconnected to it.
She explores the duality between reality and fiction as a way to question certain conventions and human behaviour. Fiction as art, but specially the fiction that has been established in our lives, shows a potential with which to nourish her artistic processes.
