The Loop Festival 2026 brings Salem de Amar's Aspirante, aspirante video installation to the Can Framis Museum.
Aspirante, aspirante is a two-channel video installation that reflects on the link between power structures and language, and the way they condition our conception of reality through the canon. The piece is structured around a text composed of fragments from melodramatic film scripts, which is performed by two young emerging actresses under the dynamics of a casting process. This exercise aims to demonstrate how certain clichés and stereotypes traverse both our desires and the way we narrate through fiction, demystifying the most “representative” narratives to rehearse alternative modes of enunciation that were originally unnoticed.
Salem de Amar (Barcelona, 1999) holds a degree in Design from BAU (Barcelona, 2021) and specialised his studies at ECAM (Madrid, 2023). His artistic practice lies at the intersection of image, sound and time, exploring the convergences that arise when engaging with performance and the performing arts, thereby questioning the traditional ways in which the subject perceives, constructs and narrates their experience.
