LUIZ ROQUE

BORN 1931, Salerno, Italy
LIVES&WORKS Rome, Italy

Attracted by the power of the image, Brazilian artist Luiz Roque makes art that wanders into different territories, including science fiction, modernist legacy, pop culture, and queer biopolitics. The plasticity of the images he uses in film takes us to the ongoing conflict between technological progress and contemporary power balances. His art lives at the intersection of cinema, art, and critical theory – all in the context of political dispute that is real and imagined at once.
