Mauricio Freyre

Bio

Mauricio Freyre is a Peruvian researcher, audiovisual artist and filmmaker with a background in architecture. Interested in how film and architecture overlap, his projects seek out the interfaces of celluloid and architecture, with special emphasis on the margins, blind spots and dark areas.

A recipient of the Premio Nacional de Cine Experimental in Peru and the Matadero Production Grant in Madrid, his films and installations have featured in the programmes and exhibitions of the Valdivia International Film Festival, Les Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, l’Alternativa, TENT Rotterdam, Nederlands Film Festival and Fundación Telefónica Lima, among others.

Project

Mauricio Freyre’s proposal, ‘Untitled’, is a video examining the history of the ISCID (an industrial design congress held in Ibiza, in 1971, during the Franco dictatorship). In it, he invites viewers to reflect on alternative production dynamics that could blur the distinction between work and leisure.
