On Images and Disobedience. Carte Blanche to Eli Cortiñas is an audiovisual series curated by artist Eli Cortiñas, in dialogue with her installation The Machine Dreams of Smoke, on view in the Museo Reina Sofía. The programme underscores the concerns and confluences of her creative world, and the crossover of political critique, post-internet delirium, protest film and contemporary theory. Moreover, it touches on narratives which unsettle, defy or question the hegemonic regime of the gaze, stretching across three sessions in which films and video works inhabited by imagery, disputing archives, technological systems and memories accommodated in bodies, non-human beings and the land are entwined. The image does not emerge here as a neutral surface upon which the world appears, but rather as a disputed territory where categories of the human are made: lives are illuminated, while others remain in darkness. More information...
