Agustín Ortiz Herrera

Descripción del Artista

Agustín Ortiz Herrera works with moving image and performance. He is interested in a critical research practice which explores the semantic possibilities of non-linear video installations. He uses that medium to deal with issues such as intersectionality, the violence engraved in power relations and the contradictions of capitalism. His strategies include the challenge of hierarchies and automatic positions established between spectators and audiovisuals as well as the subversion of expectations by shaking interfaces and requiring an active role to the viewer. He comes originally from Barcelona where he graduated in Fine Arts. Later he studied filmmaking in New York and after a screenwriting period he returned to his art production while studying the Master’s Program in Fine Arts at Konstfack, Stockholm. He works and lives in Uppsala, Sweden.
