Rrose
Present

"The image is a way to keep walking, learning from the images that come to me" 

Rrose Present was born in Barcelona where she graduated in Fine Arts for the University of Barcelona. She also holds a Masters degree in Philosophy of Contemporary Art from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and Fundació Miró.

In her work, she combines experimental video, video Art, curated in gender, and a  reflection about the image, written in images, from a "critical" poetic gaze in a double sense of reality: the PRESENTIAL (camera in hand) using the body as a tripod for her emotions, and the RE-PRESENTATION with the NET footage to digest the images of the GLOBAL ARCHIVE with the series "video 'without-camera"' reinterprets 'camera-world'.

From very conceptual beginnings anchored in the visual metaphor (without words), her work leaves the literalness of the images to penetrate into the medial and formal experimentation, with the conscious and unconscious paths that these open.

She approaches positions of the "feminane" beginnings of experimental cinema, but uses the democratic technologies of information of the present to talk about the present.

Rrose Present exercises freedom of thought, feelings and emotions with his images. She fights against the canons, stereotypes and dictatorships slaves of the patriarchal thought of the cultural industries (and their economy). As a resistance to think and imagine in freedom that allows her work in solitude.
