TST - Museum Findings (2015). Video stills
|
Entirely shot in the London
Film Museum, Museum Findings (2015) is the forth and closing channel of
"The Scarred Transporter" video installation. This highly complex
video work is included in a work-in-progress, interdisciplinary investigation on consumerism as a
form of utopian thinking and its impact on the environment/landscape. This
project was launched in 2010 and first exhibited in PHotoEspaña (PHE’11), the
photography and visual arts festival annually held in Madrid an
Lisbon.
“The Scarred Transporter” project has been developed thanks to a
production grant awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Culture (MECD) in 2013, and
a Visual Arts grant awarded by the Catalan Government (CoNCA) in the same year.

established cultural institutions worldwide.
