Adrian S. Bara

Adrián S. Bará (Mexico City, 1982)

Adrián S. Bará’s art practice combines his education and exercise as a filmmaker, his interest for
visual narratives and his empirical approaches to everyday situations. His work is generated through
the appropriation of visual elements and materials taken from his immediate environment, which are
presented as the traces of a story of contemporary reality and are arranged as fragments to compose
new narratives.

Interested in the processes of everyday life, the artist inserts himself in specific scenarios in order to
produce his work from experience, dealing with the images and components that serve as reference to
the context and the events he witnesses. It is the dynamism of these encounters what triggers the
exercise of narrative re-composition and allows the artist to work with hermeneutical processes.
Therefore, Bará has experimented with different formal disciplines within a language strongly
influenced by cinematography, configuring a body of work that consist of actions, still and moving
images, iconography reproduction, and object intervention.

Adrián S. Bará lives and works between Guadalajara and New York.
