Tensiones Video Art Program

We start with the works of Esther Achaerandio, Alberto Borea, Antón Cabaleiro and Manuela Viera-Gallo.

The work of Esther Achaerandio approaches subjects as the individualism versus the collective and the sense of ourselves versus everybody else. We can clearly appreciate the impact of her studies on anthropology on her career development. Achaerandio also deals with other subjects as the loss of the individualism, the instability and the obstacles faced to develop an artistic career.

Other perspective about the perception of the self and the individual search of the truth is showed on the work of Alberto Borea. This search is a path for the introspection and the internalizing of feelings. He investigates the loneliness and the fight against oneself.

Antón Cabaleiro, who has the individual as the centre of his works, shows us a critic and ironic view of the individual from a humorous perspective. He deal with different tecnics trying to find a place inside the art world. His work approach the daily life throught the new technologies.

The last artist of this first screening is Manuela Viera-Gallo. Her work experiments with the relation and reaction between the audience and the work of art. She uses accepted social dogmas, politicals and culturals, extracting them of their context and segregating them into their elements, creating new experiences on the public.
