ALICIA BY JUANA ROBLES

Originally shot on Super 8mm film and partially blown up to 16mm for the creation of collages made up of abstract and composed photograms, the film explores in a medium-specific way the self-experimental search for artistic, gender and sexual identity of movement artist Toma Alice Péronnet.

The connection between art and daily life, as well as the game between egocentrism and self-distance, characterise Toma Alice Péronnet's artistic work. They use their body as dispositive — a medium available for transformation in order to explore their sexual ambivalence and polyvalence treating gender and sex as a constant changing performative act. Toma Alice Péronnet converts the public space into a "stage of living art” for spontaneous interactions.

The composer of the film is Darja Kazimira.

Juana Robles (b. Tortosa, Spain 1983) is an experimental filmmaker based in Kilkenny, Ireland. Her work is focused on analogue filmmaking and the use of everyday and poetic documentations to capture intimate events, when collaborating mostly with outsiders and artists with unconventional trajectories. She's interested in using the materiality of analogue film together with experimental and process-based methods to dissolve the medium in order to highlight alternative ways of seeing and experiencing, while also letting aspects of the subconscious come to the surface.
