From a domestic garden in Fukushima, Japan, to Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic, and on to the quartz extraction sites surrounding the modernist buildings of Brasilia, Vaz’ films are grounded first and foremost on the experience of place. Her works transpose, through cinema, visceral encounters with the materiality of historically significant sites. Often examining the complexity of colonial and industrial histories in relation to the embodied textures of these locations, Vaz proposes alternative gestures, counter-shots, and errant views into the intersection of pasts, presents, and futures, creating space to question monolithic truths and narratives.
