Carla Andrade (1983, Vigo) holds a degree in Audiovisual Communication, with a master's in Artist’s Film & Moving Image from Goldsmiths University in London. She delevopes her work in the intersection between visuality and thought. Growing up face-to-face with the Atlantic Ocean shapes her artistic practice, driven by a fascination with untamed nature and its phenomenology. This spontaneous attraction to the unknown and unattainable leads her to use film and photography as a way to go beyond reality, from within that same reality. In this way, her work involves generating meaning and thought from the aesthetic experience of the tangible through the formal possibilities offered by the image, configuring her own syntax of the world with the aim of reformulating hegemonic aesthetic discourses -historically developed from a patriarchal tradition- as resistance to the dictatorship of socially pre-established and assimilated structures.

Her work has been presented in contemporary art centers such as Da2 in Salamanca, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, MARCO in Vigo, Tabacalera Madrid, Caixaforum, La Casa Encendida, Le 104 in Paris, Lux London, and more; as well as international film and photography festivals such as IFFRotterdam, FICUNAM, Zinebi, PortoPostDoc, Jihlava, Curtas Vila do Conde, Alchemy Film Festival, Documenta Madrid, (S8), PhotoEspaña, Encontros da Imagem, among others.

She has received recognitions such as the 1st Prize in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid (2014), the Photography Award from the Community of Madrid SUMMA 2015, Best Galician Film at Play-Doc 2022, and others. She has been awarded scholarships by Fulbright, Injuve, BilbaoArte, Vegap, Agadic, Institut Français, ICAA, Light Cone, or the Art Department at Goldsmiths University. Her works have been acquired by public and private collections such as CGAC, CA2M, Colegio de España in Paris, Xunta de Galicia, or Alliance Française, among others.
