Mario Brondo

I studied among others, film.

In 2007, after having relevant knowledge of the audiovisual, I applied for a post-graduate degree at celebrated art center Le Fresnoy, Studio National des Arts Contemporains in France; and quit film school. The prestige of the institution finally led me to my first exhibitions. I presented Mise en Abîme, Ouverture, and White Noise in 2 main exhibitions; involvig Jean-Marie Strub, André S. Labarthe, Yann Kersalé , Eduardo Kac, and other historical figures of the art world.

After completing the degree, my works were shown in various european biennales and film festivals.

I produced a number of audiovisual works in France, Spain and England, before establishing myself back in Mexico City. In 2010, I started producing art works independently.
As a constant, I have been revisiting my handcrafted video, the video stock daily captured troughout my life; and releasing those pieces accordingly. Mi Novia es la Vida y hacemos el Amor en la Tierra ( Mi girlfriend is life, and we make love on earth) is an ever changing work. Never to be completed. Open ended forever… It is a compilation of personal videos, and an evergrowing personal archive of my life.
