LAMALAND
Lamand is a research artist studio that advocates for parafiction by rejecting the boundaries between reality and fiction to rethink a state of uncertainty inherent to our historical moment through cinema/contemporary art.
Lamaland’s analytical nature translates in meticulous visual outcomes and production strategies that range from film, to publications and installation.
SALOME LAMAS PROFILE
Salomé Lamas is a Portuguese filmmaker, visual artist and educator.
For the last fifteen years and with a steady production of more than thirty projects Salomé Lamas’ work has been contextualized in visual culture, artistic studies, and film studies, exhibited, and distributed internationally in the fields of cinema (movie theatres, festivals, VOD streaming) and contemporary art (galleries, museums, art fairs, biennials).
She has been developing an artistic practice which explores the embedded relation between representation and the narrative power of social reality while proposing something different. Around, but not beyond, the real: beyond, but not besides, the fictional. To address the efforts to expand such interstice she refers to her work as critical media practice parafictions.
With a mixed background in cinema and visual arts, and a research informed by critical epistemology, transnational and subjective, focused on the possibilities opened up by the ecological thought, as well as the connection between artistic praxis, economic, aesthetic mutations, and contemporary philosophy, she’s been challenged to comply to a single orientation or to combine them in her action as an artist/filmmaker, but also as an educator, in various contexts, levels and geographies.
The multidisciplinary ethos underpinning her artistic endeavor, continually challenges the boundaries of visual narrative, to foster critical dialogues that prompt audiences to confront the intricacies of the human experience and broader societal dynamics, focused on Migration, Post-colonialism, and a critique of capitalism.
This research-based practice perpetuates a legacy of intellectual inquiry and artistic innovation and approaches critically the social and economic roles of media production, in the stages of development, production, exhibition, distribution and archive with outcomes ranging from films, audiovisual installations and publications.

ARTIST STATEMENT
In a fertile occupation of no man’s land, Lamas refers to her work as critical media practice parafictions.
Rather than conventionally dwelling in the periphery between cinema and the visual arts, fiction, and non-fiction, she has been attempting to make these languages her own, treading new paths in form and content, challenging the conventional methods of production, modes of exhibition and the lines between various filmic and artistic forms of aesthetic expression.
Actively exploring the capacities and limitations of transdisciplinary and transmedial situations in contemporary culture and exploring the connections between aesthetics, materiality, and politics – theory and praxis are intrinsically linked to each other.
She is interested in understanding to what extent can reflexive parafiction produce new social and aesthetic forms and structures while contributing to an awareness of its own form and structure. Parafiction responds to technological change and epistemological uncertainty by turning to reflexivity, artifice, and performativity by taking up strategies of re-enactment, essayism, and subjectivism, and most of the times being accompanied by critical writing.
A parafiction that relies on the boundaries between reality and fiction to rethink a state of uncertainty inherent to our historical moment through contemporary art/cinema helps sort fact from fiction, assisting in reflection and training our minds to confront other kinds of information.
She advocates for parafiction as a vital method which produces new information and perspectives acting as an additional module that connects physical and digital spatio-temporal with alternative potential for pasts, presents, and futures.
A fundamental principle her practice is the dialogue among disciplines, points of view, and methodologies. Laboratory and applied research, old and new media, local and global forms of organization are guiding principles.
Lamas has been researching in different scales, social formations, mappings, systems, and gestures as a cartographer of human activity. She is often drawn to critical zones, geographies of sacrifice and controversial subjects. These liminal territories and marginal characters are brought to the public for critical discussion.
These works of either modified ethnography, performative or allegoric features, show an interest in the intrinsic relationship between storytelling, memory, and history; while using primarily time-based media to explore the traumatically repressed, seemingly unrepresentable, or historically invisible, from the horrors of colonial violence to the landscapes of global capital.
Moreover, Lamas conveys a multidisciplinary approach, critically addressing the social and economic roles of media production, in the stages of development, production, exhibition, and distribution with outcomes ranging from publications, film, video and sound installation.
Her approach to education includes and overspills the framework of systematic, academic, and institutional teaching.
To be coherent with her practice means to dwell on the problems of the translator and to accept the vitality of the collector.
