Jorge Bascuñan is a Brazilian freelance artist, teacher, and director, currently based in Berlin. He completed his Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, and he is certified in Cinematography and Actor’s Direction in São Paulo. Since 2012, he is co-director of the ‘Baillistas Collective’ of Photography and Multi-art. In 2016, he moved to Germany where he completed his Master’s in contemporary dance education (MA CoDE, HfMDK, Germany). His independent work is based on questioning the meanings of socially constructed bodies, identity, and sexuality. With a provocative irony, he intends to re-signify symbolic aspects of contemporary corporality. Bascuñan reveals his multidisciplinary experiments by mixing photography, video, drawing, sounds, and text with research on movement, contextualising it in the realm of art and politics.
