Gala Hernández López
Artist-researcher and filmmakerGala Hernández López is an artist-researcher and filmmaker who combines interdisciplinary research with the production of films, video installations and performances. Her work explores the new forms of subjectivation produced by digital capitalism.
In her first trilogy of video works, she casts a critical feminist gaze on the discourses and imaginaries circulating in three eminently male virtual communities – incels, extropians and crypto-bros – approaching them as symptomatic fictions of a world shaped by digital technologies. She has been awarded a dozen prizes to date, including the SCAM Experimental Work Prize in 2023 and the César for the Best Documentary Short in 2024, for her film La Mécanique des fluids. She has received a grant from the CNC’s Immersive Creation Fund, as well as the Aesthetica Art Prize 2024 and the iMAL Prize at the Nova XX 2024 Biennial.
She is a PhD candidate at Université Paris 8, where she is currently completing a research-creation thesis on screen captures, and where she has taught for the past 3 years. She is currently artist-in-residence 2023-2024 at the Académie de France en Espagne – Casa de Velázquez.
She is the co-founder and co-director of the collective After Social Networks (www.after-social-networks.com). She regularly gives workshops and lectures in venues such as the Filmuniversität Konrad Wolf, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Marseille, ECAM in Madrid, The Photographer’s Gallery, the University of Michigan and the Locarno Film Festival.
She is invited to participate at the Friche of the Palais de Tokyo from October 7 to December 20, 2024.
