Laida Lertxundi is an artist working on film, printmaking and writing. Born in Bilbao, Spain. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Bard College in New York and an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Laida Lertxundi is an artist who works with film. Entangling the sublime and the critical, Laida Lertxundi’s 16mm films capture collective, improvised gestures and diegetic sound events within a variety of natural landscapes to produce a deeply embodied, sensual formalism. Combining conceptual rigor and sensuality in a process she calls “Landscape Plus,” her films establish parallels between landscape and the body as centers of pleasure and experience. Her practice is collaborative in nature, aiming to actively deconstruct the hierarchies of a traditional film shoot through the free exchange of roles both behind and in front of the camera, and the staging of improvised gestures and spontaneous, collective activities in various natural environments. Lertxundi’s work is invested landscape as both an artistic tradition and a particular set of regional characteristics, idioms and inhabitants — from the deserts of California to the dramatic mountains of her native Basque Country.
