ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

"This winter ARGOS presents Oriana, the first solo exhibition in Belgium by Puerto Rican artist Beatriz Santiago Muñoz. The presentation consists of a single multi-channel audiovisual installation that is spread out across the ARGOS building."

​

"Beatriz Santiago Muñoz develops her films and videos through writing, as well as through chance encounters and structured improvisation with non-actors. Using tools of ethnography, the artist mines local histories and indigenous mythologies, creating multilayered filmic interventions that juxtapose documentary with fiction and storytelling. For Santago Muñoz, the camera is an instrument of mediation between those in front of and behind the lens. The mutual recognition of each other's presence is thus the starting point for establishing pivotal audiovisual connections, which form the conceptual basis of her work."
