Lilibeth CuencaBorn 1970, Manila, Philippines - Lives in Copenhagen, Denmark
Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen, O' Brother Mike, 2004 Lilibeth Cuenca works primarily in the field of new media
such as video and computer animation, which she sometimes combines. Although
her videos are inspired by documentary she twists the genre with her
aesthetic intention for example split-screen and repetition in relation
to the visual and auditory elements. Her interest lies in
socio-cultural relations, where she examines identity, gender and
socio-cultural relations connected to different communities in the
society. The anthropological and sociological perspectives on issues of
identity and gender pose the question on how socio-cultural
constructions are deeply influenced by different individual
circumstances, specific environments and roots. The examination of the
locations questions how the self is constituted and how people act
within a group either chosen or determined in social situations such as
work, education, leisure time “social activities” or the basic
structure of the family. Lilibeth Cuenca investigates the group versus the individual constellations in society
and how the individual responds to social or religious rituals. See also Lilibeth Cuenca's exhibition from 2004 "Life Is too Short!" |
