Spain NOW! is proud to present the video works of Spanish artists Isabel Castro Jung and Javi Marquerie.
Isabel Castro Jung
Isabel Castro Jung‘s practice is based on multilayered projects, focusing on performance, sculpture, and video. The main objects she creates for her works are called ‘wearable sculptures’. These pieces are extensions of her own body, quite heavy and often uncomfortable. They act as armour protecting her and connecting her to earth but also being a burden and obstacle. Isabel likes technology as well as nature and she is interested in exploring this field and the relation between both. She is interested in the relationship between the physical and the virtual. She enjoys collaborations with other people, and had the chance to work with dancers, musicians and actors from Spain and Germany.

Javier Marquerie Thomas
Javier Marquerie Thomas presents “Cephalopod Mince”, an ongoing project that explores human exposure, paranoia and camouflage through performance, video and installation. The film includes a collaboration with 3D artist Claudia Mate and sound by Segabodega. He has exhibited in photo-festivals, art-fairs and galleries internationally, and has work in international collections including the Universidad de Cadiz in Spain and Sul Ado Malagoli Art Museum in Brazil and in Elena Ochoa Foster’s private collection. For his most recent show, Under35 at Ivory Press Space as part of PhotoEspaña 20015, he took part in panel discussion alongside exhibiting artists, chaired by Joan Fontcuberta . He is currently a lecturer of photography at Brampton College.
