Los Angeles Filmforum and L.A. OLA present Valentina Alvarado

~

For the two-day symposium Precarity in Cinema, coming later this week, the artist Valentina Alvarado will be coming to Los Angeles from Spain. Filmfourm and L.A. OLA are delighted to to host her first solo program in the United States.

Filming the outer (landscape/territories/geographies) and the inner (studio life, hands, affections) is a constant conversation Valentina Alvarado has with her camera. Her practice focuses on collage, understood as a vessel that houses elements like paper, film, ceramics, and multiple media. She thinks from and with the image and its materiality, always traversed from a look that revolves around the landscape, belongingness, and matter.
