SYNOPSIS In Sanskrit, Nayan (नयन) means 'eye' and evokes a poetic dimension of perception and vision. This term also gives title to a song created by my Nepalese partner in 2015, Sandeep, while I, with my camera, sought to activate the void in the Chilean landscape, without questioning whether I had the right to materialize something foreign to my condition as a subject, thus perpetuating the privilege that sustained me. Ten years later, I revisit and denounce these acts, exploring how language, both visual and verbal, reveals our limitations and the invisible structures of power that shape us
Carla Andrade
Vigo, Spain, 1983. An interest in the aesthetic experience and how it functions as a transformer of consciousness led to the study of both a degree in Audiovisual Communication Studies and Philosophy, as well as an M.A. in Artists’ Film and Moving Image at Goldsmiths, University of London. This intersection between visual expression and a field close to reflection is, precisely, the central aspect that defines the work. Traveling is also an important part of the creative process, and artist residencies have been carried out in Iceland, Sweden, Nepal, Chile, and Paris, among others. The work has been screened at festivals such as IFFR Rotterdam, Zinebi, PortoPostDoc, Jihlava, Alchemy Film Festival, Curtocircuito, Filmadrid, and (S8).
