On the first weekend of May, as a way of celebrating its first year, Project DUNA invites artists from various past rounds to present new and old works. The two-day online festival focuses on presentations around “art & nature” on Saturday and “women & art” on Sunday. In that frame, I will be presenting my work “Malfunctioning Portraits” on Sunday, during a 4-hour program full of feminist films, videos and discussions between the artists, the curators and the audience.

After Sunday, you can watch the full presentation in Duna’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYxrea4rI0

For the next three days I will take over @projectduna ‘s Instagram account, presented bits and pieces of my project «Malfunctioning Portraits». «Malfunctioning Portraits» consist of approximately 40 photos and short videos which are the outcome of filming myself in front of my broken laptop’s camera in order to capture a series of disfigured self-portraits. The project, that originated as a commission for “Alchemic Body” exhibition in Bogota and aimed to be a comment on image and identity in the digital era, seems even more relevant to me now that our whole lives have been transferred online.

Make sure to follow and feel free to comment, share and send me your thoughts on the project.
