Diego Barrera

Filmmaker, Art Director and Teacher, focused on the music video's world, one of the last work for the song "The Sun of the Natural World is Pure Fire" of the second álbum in collaboration with Jim Jarmusch (as musician) and Josef Van Wissem, a mixture of ideas: wounds' personification, the water's symbolism, the elements, with the myth of the Hermaphrodite presented at MoMA in New York, supported by "Pitchfork Magazine" and "Sacred Bones Records". In his work certain recurring themes loom like figurative metamorphosis of his characters, androgenization rites supporting a political speech in favor of feminism, understood as struggle against the social conditioning, looking for the rupture with raised standards on gender, as well as the development of a spiritual journey in which the symbols embody the subconscious. Linking it to a dramatic closed line to the romanticism that develops in almost sculptural scenary away from the classic look. His language is more influenced by the various branches of avant-garde art {sculpture, painting, literature} as Surrealism, Dada, Art Nouveau and Symbolism, etc. than the film academicism.
