Edison Peñafiel - MARE MAGNVM - Navis I
Artist Biography: Edison Peñafiel (b. 1985, Ecuador) is an Ecuadorian-American artist based in Miami, Florida, United States. Born in Ecuador, Edison Peñafiel immigrated to the United States to leave the political and economic instability of his native country. His unique style integrates video installation and multimedia to create surreal echoes of our world, environments that translate experience. His work uses the migrant as a subject, based on his own life. His early photographs focus on deconstruction and perception, absurdity and politics. The use of a camera plays with evidence, facts and their manipulation in the media. When he switches to multimedia installations, he delves into socio-economic and political issues. By presenting looping video projections, Peñafiel mimics the loops that make up our history and present. His visions show people trapped in circulation and work behaviors, being observed at all times. His later installations increase the interaction between physical and virtual elements, creating worlds for the viewer to enter that are at once strange and familiar worlds. These bring together the themes of his earlier works and the use of provocative imagery to evoke social realities, while evolving into fully immersive experiences. Peñafiel has presented his work in numerous large-scale projects, site-specific installations and immersive installations, appearing at the Bass Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, the Orlando Museum of Art, the Elsewhere Museum, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, and the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art. He has received several awards, including the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Florida Prize in Contemporary Art and the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship. He currently resides in South Florida, Florida, USA.
