We Are Art People in conversation with Aron Sanchez-Baranda

Aron Sanchez-Baranda is a video artist and photographer, living in Los Angeles, California.We discuss Aron's investigations and immersion into the mesmerizing world beneath our ocean waters, the role of an artist and responsibility in communicating the confronting realities of discovered ecological shifts and degradation, collaboration and finding projects that give space for interactive expression.Aron has discovered a deep connection to documenting the movement and habitats of biological marine animals - the majority of his life has been spent close to the California coast and through a trajectory in sound and music production, Aron shifted his focus to visual documentation. Working with moving image, photography and in collaboration with musicians and sound artists — Aron’s work is both a creative expression and an ongoing documentation. His instagram @waterbod is a cacophony of color, movement and delicious creatures filled with life and abstraction. Aron has collaborated with Venezuelan musician and record producer, Alejandra Ghersi Rodríguez aka Arca, directing the mesmerizing visuals for Madre featuring Oliver Coates and works have been presented as large scale video installations in Times square’s Midnight Moment, the Venice Biennale and for Neo Shibuya TV, Tokyo.Links:https://www.aronsanchez.com/https://aronsanchezprints.com/Social: @waterbodShow notes:Arca – Madre feat.
