Dionis Escorsa

Dionis Escorsa (Tortosa, 1970) works from the representation and its relationship with the space in which it is shown, the light that shapes it and the viewer’s gaze, often focusing on its spectral character. Through painting, video installation, experimental cinema and theater video-scenography, he studies how the mechanisms of staging, the language of narratives, cartographies and encryptions work. All this often from a fictional autobiographical perspective.

Throughout his career he has exhibited in spaces such as Caixaforum, Halfhouse, the Suñol Foundation, La Capella, the CCCB and the CASM in Barcelona, the MAMT in Tarragona, La Panera in Lleida, the MAC Niteroi in Brazil, the Gasco Foundation in Santiago de Chile, the 40mcube in Rennes, the Casal Solleric in Palma de Mallorca, among others. As a filmmaker, he has shown his work at festivals such as the Kino der Kunst in Munich, the Oberhausen Kurzfilmtage, the Cosi fan tutte Vienna, the Hamburg KFF, the Berlin KFF, the Malaga Festival, the IBAFF Murcia, the Xcèntric, OVNI and Flux in Barcelona. As a video-scenographer, he has worked in theaters such as the Mercado de las Flores, the Sala Beckett or the Teatro Libre in Barcelona, the Cesc Pompeya in Sao Paulo, the Nuovo Teatro Nuovo in Naples and the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York.
