The Interior City

Might workplaces be considered reflective, meditative, or emotive spaces? The days of these janitors unfold in places of transit, yet they themselves remain watchful and attentive within them. While confined to these spaces during their days of work, they share with us their confessions.

Director Biography - Jorge Moneo Quintana, Iso Luengo, Andrea Ballesteros i Beato

ISO LUENGO
Got her Fine Arts' degree in 2015 from the Complutense Univerisy of Madrid, and completed her studies at Central Saint Martins, London. Her art work revolves around the act of dwelling, the boundaries between public and private life and spaces; using action art and performance, registration and archive, and audiovisual forms as her media. She has also been involved with transfeminism, intersectional feminism and queer culture in her art work as well as in her political activism in the city of Madrid. In 2013 she joined Galería Liebre, a contemporary art space in Madrid, until its closure in 2015. In 2016 she expanded her technical training in digital cinema at EFTI, International Center of Photography and Cinema. In 2017 she specializes in documentary cinema at Master's Degree in Theory and Practice of Creative Documentary Making, in the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona.

JORGE MONEO QUINTANA
He was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 1988. He achieved his Bachelor degree at the University of the Basque Country and also carried out studies at Universitatea de Arta si Design din Cluj-Napoca (Romania) andUniversidade de Vigo (Spain). Over the past few years he has developed his artistic career in visual arts and audiovisual media, enrolling in personal projects both as author and cinematographer. His creations have been displayed in several cultural institutions. In 2015 he collaborated as assistant director in the film Where is the jungle? by Ivan Castiñeiras. He completed his film studies at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona and at ESCAC (Escola Superior de Cinema I Audiovisuals de Catalunya). He is currently working on his next project that reflects on landscape and social changes.

ANDREA BALLESTEROS I BEATO
She was born and raised in Barcelona (1992). Graduated in Fine Arts in 2014 she specialized in installation and sculpture. In 2012 Andrea made an Erasmus exchange at KABK (Koninklijke Academie Van Beeldende Kunsten), Den Haag (NL). There she had her first exhibition presenting her piece Van Limburg Stirumstraat 222A. Andrea’s artistic career is defined by her interest in constructing malleable spaces that stand for narrative-documentary and sensory experiences. Working on this direction in 2015, she applied for an artist residency in Fabra i Coats, where she has developed her project Phenomena Espacio. In 2016 Andrea starts a master’s program on documentary filmmaking due to her willingness to continue learning from creative practices.
