Col·lectiu 1080 - 2026

Col·lectiu 1080 (Collective 1080) investigates audiovisual media in a broad sense, especially in its relations with the contemporary context: production, reception, discourses, language and temporalities of the moving image. Within this conceptual framework, collective reflection revolves around the processes of creation and production (How to make films by fostering a strong artistic gesture?) and programming (How is cinema shown?). For the year 2026, we have invited Marta Andreu in order to maintain a sustained dialogue throughout the year. The question “How to inhabit the image?” (which she herself posed to us) serves as our initial trigger. Through the exchange of personal projects in progress (a thesis by Renan Camilo, a film by Mònica Rovira and a video art piece by Marla Jacarilla), we will reflect on the possibilities of inhabiting the image in a context of audiovisual overproduction. During the first session, Marta told us about the process of writing her thesis, about the concept of solastalgia and her performative lecture “Cançó d'amor”. In the following meetings, we will discuss our ongoing projects to try to find the answer to the question “How to inhabit the image?”. During these sessions, we will be collecting texts, images, references, etc., with the aim of building a certain narrative around this question, keeping in mind the possibility of producing a publication at the end of the whole process.

Biographies:

Marla Jacarilla (Alcoi, 1980) is a visual artist, writer and film critic. Her work is based on techniques such as performance, video art and installations. She continuously seeks out links between plastic art, new technologies and literature to develop a fragmented and interspersed fictional narrative that the viewer is invited to piece together. She has participated in collective exhibitions at MACBA, Fundació Tàpies, Fabra i Coats - Centre d’Art Contemporani, Centre d’Art La Panera, La Capella and Centre del Carme, among others. She is currently part of the programming committee of La Escocesa film club, specialising in non-fiction cinema, and of the editorial team of Filmtopia, a website specialising in films made by women.

Mònica Rovira is a filmmaker and researcher, with a degree in Audiovisual Communication and a master's degree in Creative Documentary from Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), and a diploma in Film Direction from FAMU (Academy of Performing Arts) in Prague. Starting with Ver a una mujer (2017), she investigates film language as a place from which to formulate questions, the tension between desire and writing, the ways of narrating what happens to us and the world through what happens to us, what goes through us. With others, for others. A practice that focuses on the vulnerability and temporality of bodies, as well as the spectral relationships that permeate and overflow the images. She experiments with writing about the self in film to construct a voice in transit that questions identity. Currently, she is developing a new film based on the project Them, the Water and Me, promoted by the La Virreina centre (2024).

Renan Camilo holds a degree in Philology and Literature from the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) in Brazil, a diploma in Audiovisual Ideation and Creation from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in Barcelona, and a master's degree in Film Curating from Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola in the Basque Country. He was a production assistant and curator in the parallel activities of the Barcelona Independent Film Festival - L'Alternativa. He participated in the curatorial process of the exhibition Zin Ex. Cuerpo y arquitectura at Tabakalera, the International Centre for Contemporary Culture. At the Santa Mònica arts centre, she participated in the exhibition Utopia Rambles. In 2023, she received the curatorial grant from Sala d'Art Jove. Currently, she is completing a doctoral thesis in applied research at the Department of Literary Theory and Comparative Literature at the University of Barcelona (UB).
