Valeria Vicente is a Mexican audiovisual artist. She is the author, director, photographer and editor of video art, experimental cinema, live cinema and music video pieces. She works with the voice, the still and moving image, digital video and its derivatives as means of expression where she uses analog and digital techniques of appropriation, intervention, destruction and reorganization, challenging the limits of the “correct” use of technology by making use of the act, live and improvisation, as well as post-production and remixing, whose search in audiovisual art delves into the creation of environments of narrative liminality in which the extremes of the common and the fantastic or indescribable coexist, causing polysemy in each piece, repairing in the meaning of reality, memory and its relationship with data, its corruption and its translation into the human condition.
