Spanning video, performance and photography, Pilar Mata Dupont's work aids her research into the malleability and fallibility of structures of history, gender and memory, and often combines seemingly disparate references to create new, and often dreamlike, visual worlds where these themes can be investigated. Using highly theatrical and cinematic methods, she reimagines histories and classical texts, creating alternative readings that question the conditions of the construction of dominant narratives that shape western society. Her Argentinian background, and upbringing in Australia, Argentina and Brunei Darussalam - all settler states and/or former colonies or protectorates - feed into her practice through the themes she explores.
