Carlos Amorales
Carlos Amorales’s work focuses on language and the impossibility/possibility of communicating through means that are unrecognizable or not codified, including through sounds, gestures, and symbols. Amorales experiments at the line between image and sign using an array of platforms such as animation, video, film, drawing, installation, performance and sound. His practice establishes different forms of translation—instruments become characters in his films, letters become shapes, and narratives unfold as non-verbal actions. Amorales lives and works in Mexico City.
Jesse Lerner
Filmmaker, writer, and curator. His films have won awards at festivals in the United States, Latin America and Japan, and have been screened at the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as at the Sundance, Rotterdam, and Los Angeles film festivals, to name a few. Mexico’s Cineteca Nacional, the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Anthology Film Archives in New York have all presented retrospective exhibitions of his documentaries. He is the author of El impacto de la modernidad, Los Mayas de modernismo, The Catherwood Project, Ismo Ismo Ismo, and F is for Phony.
