Rafaël (ES)
“In our view Rafael is one of the European stars of narrative performance,always witty, challenging, sensitive and engaging in a way unlike anyone else we’ve ever come across. What more can we say apart make sure you see this.”
Nlab @ the Tate Britain 2008
Rafaël has worked as a video director and live video performer, but his main occupation is photography. The photography and video images are processed with a computer into rhythmical sequences. Rafaël’s work has been shown, among others, at the ICA (Institute for Contemporary Arts in London), Outvidéo in Russia, Vidéoformes in France, etc…”
34th International Film Festival of Rotterdam IFFR 2005
“The last performance of the opening weekend was a journey into the mind of Rafaël, a renegade filmmaker and long time Narrative Lab favourite. Hard to describe, and as far as I’m aware only experienced at the odd festival (self-promotion, website? pah!), if you see Rafael [ES] on the programme, just go. Crazy, wonderful, not entirely to be understood, but definite in the feeling that you viscerally touched something.”
