Lorena Solís Bravo

Lorena Solís Bravo is a Peruvian artist based in Amsterdam. Her work combines scientific research, speculative thinking, and poetry, taking the form of films, performances, sculptures, and texts.
Through her work, she explores and deconstructs the concept of identity within the modern-colonial subject by examining its symbiotic relationships with other species, thereby proposing the dissolution of boundaries between the human and the non-human. In these intersections, she invites the viewer to experience the world as a body in constant transformation and interconnection.
Solís Bravo uses a situated and collaborative methodology, often working with scientists and biologists. She uses technologies such as micro-CT scanners and electron microscopy, combining them with alternative narratives. Her work is based on a critique of how science has historically been constructed and understood through a Western hegemonic perspective, seeking to rethink it from a decolonial point of view and open it up to other ways of knowing and perceiving.
Her approach is grounded in thorough research, which then expands into the poetic, dreamlike, and sensory.
