Juan Lesta
A Coruña, Spain, 1971
I have worked since 97 as a filmmaker and director for visual art projects related to music and experimental audiovisual formats.
My creations are focused on music video, experimental video, interactive, installation and livecinema or experimental documentary, receiving many awards and endorsements from national and international institutions.
During my career I have directed music videos for important Spanish and international artists like Brian Eno, Fangoria , Carlos Ordoñez, Astrud… I have produced pieces of videoart, among others, for INJUVE, CGAC Galician Center for Contemporary Art, Fundación Luis Seoane, Museo do Mar de Galicia, Hangar. I have exhibited my work at Pompidou Metz (in France), CGAC, La Capella (BCN), Fundación Luis Seoane (A Coruña), or MAC (Spain).
My works were acquired to be part of the collection of CGAC, Artium-Injuve, Consellería de Cultura (Xunta de Galicia), Fundación Siglo or Depuatción da Coruña.
