Malena Szlam
Malena Szlam is an artist and filmmaker born and raised in Chile to Argentinian parents, and who now lives in Montréal/Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang. Through her practice, Szlam reimagines connections between human beings and the natural world. Attentive to how geopolitics are intertwined with natural phenomena, from moon’s orbital phases to the sweeping high-plateau of central Andes, her films, installations, and photographs explore embodied perception and the affective dimensions of analogue film processes. Her recent projects focus on geology, earth sciences, and volcanology. She has collaborated with composers and scientists, including Lawrence English, Clive Oppenheimer, and Susannah Buchan to create soundscapes that emanate from deep within the earth’s crust, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
