[Bio c. 2010] Dada Docot explores issues of the personal and of space within the different contexts of international mobility. Looking at migration as an arena where citizenships and identities are performed, re/defined and re/asserted, her photography and film works focus on the intricate and the intimate.

Originally from the Philippines, Dada obtained her MA in Human Security Studies/ Anthropology from the University of Tokyo in 2008. She recently moved to...

[Bio c. 2011] In my works I explore the relations between architecture, geographic spaces and the negotiation of individual and collective identity. Using primarily video, photography and narration, I use architecture as a performative and contextual space where the shaping of identity stems out of a series of conflicts, between economic powers, social roles, cultural and linguistic specificities. Even though they are built as assemblages of narrative, performative and documentary elements, my videos maintain a strong pictorial quality.
