ANA VAZ
ARTIST AND FILMMAKER
Ana Vaz is an artist and filmmaker whose films, installations and performed texts explore complex relationships between environments, territories and hybrid histories pushing the boundaries of our perception.
(Brasil, 1986) Her films have been shown internationally in film festivals and institutions such as the Tate Modern, Palais de Tokyo, Jeu de Paume, LUX Moving Images, New York Film Festival - Projections, TIFF Wavelengths, BFI, Cinéma du Réel, TABAKALERA, Courtisane, Fondación Tapiès and Whitechapel Gallery. Vaz's audiovisual work assembles found footage and own material to explore and speculate on the hybridizations between myths, geography, politics, and history.
Ana is also a founding member of the collective COYOTE along with some colleagues from the École des Arts Polítiques (SPEAP), a cross-disciplinary group working in the fields of ecology, ethnology and political science through an array of cross-cutting platforms. In 2015, she was the recipient of the Kazuko Trust Award presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in recognition of artistic excellence and innovation in her moving-image work.
