Tranquilo
Tranquilo (2019-2025) is a series of experimental music videos activated at times by live musical performances by Juan “Wamoo” Alvarez. This series is a continual coming of age story, which is at the same time a process of assimilation, disruption and the noise in between. A story told through its instances and interactions, contrasting the agency and control that gaming or music brings a child, with the challenging lived experiences of immigration. Absurdity and humor play large roles in his practice, resonating in this series through its subject matter and the collision of different cultural influences which highlight and explode the mundane, real or absurd. Frustration, rejection, isolation, escapism, and self-actualization are undercurrents in the work, in tension and harmony with with their hyperactive visuals and songs about a caracol, or a snail, wanting to be a part of Street Fighter or a cat who is scared of the loud clomping of his Timberland boots.
Your Bubble. My Bubble (Not Me, But Somebody Else)
(2019-2022) A four-part interactive video installation with sound by Andréa DeFelice. This work forms into a larger installation incorporating sculptures, objects, prints, and sound design. This artwork is a three-year project produced during and after an artist residency in Crete (Greece). This interactive audio-visual installation is based on visual field loss, flashing lights, encounters, and division. The work conveys ideas around relationship separation while the subjects take up the same space. It is about forming artificial and real spaces and beliefs, talking to yourself, nature, animals, and failing communication with others. The concepts are derived from developing the artwork during an artist residency named “Event Horizon.” The site for this residency is a 5-acre mountain-side meadow and olive grove in Crete. This project was inspired by research of philosophical texts on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Truth and Method, and certain speculations about our understanding of understanding.
