Javier Lloret - Graduation bio

Bio

Javier Lloret (ES) is interested in the intersection between art and audiovisual media. With a background in interactive media, his current line of work encompasses artistic photography and video. His work, either through staged situations or recontextualized found footage, often explores social conventions of behavior in contrast with individuality. His video pieces, with an emphasis on the mise-en-scène, make use of an attenuated tempo and flow, using but also breaking the conventions of cinema.

Abstract

Detached is a series of evocative videos, with a loose narrative, that share an uncanny atmosphere. The minimal soundscape, the pace of the actions and the slow revealing of the staged situations amplify the increasing tension. In Detached , the main characters seem alienated, disattached from the repetitive actions they perform. A series of secondary characters, observe or trigger the flow of events with their decisions.

Spec

• 3 Full-HD panoramic monitors mounted on the wall, next to each other, in a silent area of the exhibition with 3 set of headphones.

The videos are going to be short, so there is no need of sofas or chairs for the visitors :)
