Born in Lima, Peru. 1990.
Living and working in Berlin.
Research based transdisciplinary artist working across video, photography, sound and text. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Sciences from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and a Master's Degree in Conceptual Photography from EFTI School of Photography in Madrid. Her films and video works have been screened at Internationalen Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Raums Space Kaliningrad, Visions in the Nunnery, The Wrong Biennale, Transcinema, the One Minutes Collection and Bad Art Festival, among others. She has published Virgin’s Breath, Todo Está Bien, Checan Moche and The Stimulator.
Her practice draws from personal and popular archives, reshaping them into new visual and narrative configurations. Through her work, she explores the tender cruelty of the banal, engaging with themes of pain, love, memory and the body. Since 2024, she co-directs Consuelo Press with Peruvian artist María García Piaggio, an independent publishing house based between Lima and Berlin, focused on books from south american authors that explore archives, memory and the body.
She is currently researching printed painkiller advertisements from the early 1900s in the United States, United Kingdom, Cuba, Spain and Mexico, with a focus on the disparities in how pain is represented, especially for people of color, within the medical industry. She is also completing her first manuscript ‘Todo Está Bien’ and developing a film that explores the pain of being in love.
