Known for her experimental, precise and hypnotic portraits of places and people shot in 16mm (Recordando El Ayer, Beirut 2.14.05, Piensa En Mí, Despedida, Territorio), Alexandra Cuesta expands her cinematic vocabulary into an “intimate ethnography,” shot over three years in upstate New York, Los Angeles, Japan and Chile. Setting up the process of regularly shooting a “film gesture” almost daily, Camera Notes records “fragments of the everyday intimate.” Cuesta lives and works between the United States and Ecuador and was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial fellowship in 2018. Camera Notes (Part One) will be preceded by a selection of her earlier work.
