Pantalla CCCB. A month an artist

David Ferrando Giraut (Negreira, A Coruña, 1978) has a degree in Fine Arts from the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia and an MFA from Goldsmiths College, London. In 2010 he was one of the eight video artists selected for the LUX Associate Artists Programme in London. His work has been shown both in galleries and museums (The Green Parrot in Barcelona, Galería Bacelos in Madrid and Vigo, LABoral in Gijón, MARCO in Vigo, Tartu Kunstimuuseum in Estonia and the ICA in London, among others) and on film circuits (IndieLisboa, the Rotterdam Film Festival).

His work, centring mainly on video, sound and installation, stands at the intersection of various conceptual threads, such as the hybridization of natural elements, technology, and socio-political organization and its management throughout history; the tensions between representation and represented reality; the aesthetic experience as a cognitive tool; a questioning of the modern concept of temporality, and a search for continuity, employing notions such as transversality, Proustian reminiscence, ruin, and their parallels with audiovisual recording.
