Abstraction has been a recurring strategy in Latin American visual cultures since long before the European Conquest.  Over the past century, and often in dialogue with artists elsewhere, Latin Americans working in diverse media have explored abstraction or pure explorations of color and form. Not surprisingly, filmmakers have participated actively in this process of exploration, often in collaboration with artists from other media.  Enrique Pineda Barnets Cosmorama (1964) uses the kinetic sculptures of the Romanian-Cuban artist Sandú Darié Laver as a point of departure,.Other filmmakers proceed from urban and architectural references, such as Pragues public transit system in Azucena Losanas At Your Heels (2017), or the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Teo Hernándezs Nuestra señora de Paris (1981-1982), and render these in ways that cross back and forth between abstraction and recognizable representations, while still others reference the altered sensory perceptions and exaggerated color palettes of psychedelic experiences. Offering an abstract journey into theatrical spectatorship, the images in Manuela de Laborde's As Without So Within document reflective prop-sculptures, which are transformed into tools for creating visual fields. Manuel DeLanda creates Electric Arthropods with extreme enlargements of various insects, digitally manipulated and colorized with animated particle backgrounds, as part of his continuing search for the uncanny in the alteration of the everyday and the prosaic. Together, like the diverse approaches of the concrete, neo-concrete, geometric abstraction, grupo Madí, grupo Ruptura, and other movements in the visual arts, these filmmakers pursue colors, light, shadows, and forms as the basis for their work.

Manuela de Laborde is an artist and filmmaker from Mexico City. Labordes practice, by abstracting concepts from their concrete properties, looks to create [virtual] spaces and [regenerate] the image. Inspired by simplicity of expression, economy of detail, location of exhibition, her practice is a meditation on physical presence. To the eye, her work carries aesthetic claims and pleasure; yet in its presentation is performative and in its purpose, conceptual. In 2012 she exhibited her solo show, Maquettes, in Generator Projects, Dundee; in 2013 screened, Sun, at London MexFest with the live score of Camila Fuchs; her short films Viveros, The exponential Nature of Images and Le Visible et LInvisible where shown at Antimatter FF, Jihlava IDFF and Milwaukee UFF; and this year her thesis film, As Without So Within, was screened at Toronto International Film Festival, Winnipeg WNDX (Best International Short), 25fps Festival in Zagreb (Grand Prix), FICM of Morelia and International Film Festival Rotterdam among others. Manuela studied Film & Video (MFA) at the California Institute of the Arts and an Art (BA) at Edinburgh College of Art.
