Working primarily in video, Patricia Esquivias’s work focuses on the material remains of idiosyncratic occurrences that connect to larger historical narratives. She builds unexplored connections among history, popular and material cultures through her now characteristic videos in which the artist narrates stories in front of her computer screen, bringing different references into play. Many of her works explore minor, anecdotal stories connected to the relationship between Spain and Latin America, subtly revealing larger historical developments in an almost rhizomatic way. She is particularly interested in popular architecture and ornament as anchors to explore, for example, the changing nature of cities, focusing on the experience of the users rather than on grandiose theoretical frameworks of analysis.
