From Remains
Magaly Ponce
Magaly Ponce creates playful, haunting video art and installations. Originally from Chile, her work gravitates from the Poetic to the Political, maintaining a love for audio and crafted imagery.
For this exhibition, Ponce explores microscopic personal moments through video and photography. The images are transformed onto Japanese paper scrolls, as well as delicate video sequences. At this startling scale, mundane images give way to lyrical, metaphorical landscapes.
Ponce’s recent exhibitions include The Lisbon Village Festival in Portugal, a video retrospective at The RISD Museum, SoundScape 2007, and a commission for inSite 05 at the San Diego-Tijuana border crossing, among many others, Her work has been funded by the Rockefeller, MacArthur and Lampadia Foundations, as well as a Fulbright grant.
