Andrea (ES,CL~1997)is a Graphic Designer and transdisciplinary artist with a focus on speculative storytelling and collaborative work.
Born in Spain and raised in Chile, currently based in Berlin. She is interested in how site-specific work can emerge from a feeling of displacement, usually touching on topics of animism, extractivism, ecology, and magic.
Following this, she began to tell stories through the exploration of traces, and their materiality. These stories are told through voices of objects, monuments, land, mountains, sand, and water. Respectfully the stories find their form mostly in video installations, publications and workshops.
Simultaneosly she is busy writing spells and guiding experimental workshops with her research collaborator Laila Saber Rodriguez in their collective Cruda.
