nomadic and productive, Sebastian Diaz Morales adapts easily to any type of situation
and draws from it the features that will feed his work. His films simultaneously
belong to the realm of fairy tales, dreams, travel accounts and social statement.
He combines all these genres with great virtuosity and a very personal style.
His images are inventive, his montage skillful, and the intense and uncanny atmospheres
which he creates durably impress the viewer's imagination. His video installations
go far beyond the simple projection : he can also engrave texts or shapes into
the wall, include sculptural elements into the space or adapt the video to the
spatial environment.
