Esteban Azuela
<span class="not-set">(not set)</span>
From hand drawing to complex transmedia pieces, Esteban Azuela experiments with the narrative possibilities of visual art, in an atypical space between fiction, documentary and dialogue with other disciplines. His videos and animated shorts have been exhibited in venues as diverse as the Palais de Tokio and the Central de Abastos, while his collaborations as a VJ and sound act visualist include equally diverse artists such as Los Viejos, Black Devil Disco Club, Tristan Arp and Nick Zinner. At MUTEK MX, as part of the artists selected in the Frente Nacional Call, Esteban will present the most recent iteration of his transmedia project Aferrado.
Aferrado is a low-fi 3D reinterpretation of real events documented in Mexico City. With the technological error as an aesthetic stance and 3D photogrammetry as an emotional document, Esteban generates a liquid memory that expands through a fleeting event captured in the midst of chaos.
