Ana Bezelga (b. 1979, Lisbon) merges sculpture, video, performance and photography in her body of work. Elaborated projects have critically addressed contemporary issues of gender in relation to architecture, art history, film history and literature. Since 2007 she developed an interest on narrations of gender in relation to space, architecture, cinema and psychoanalysis, focusing her research on authors such as Beatriz Colomina, Giuliana Bruno, Laura Mulvey, and Luce Irigaray. She realized a series of sculptures and video installations, in which collective memories of modernism are scrutinized in architectural model like sculptures displaying films and interviews screened through a construction of mirrors. Since then her projects have raised questions around the production of meaning through recorded image mediated by text and sculpture, examining the mechanisms of cinematic construction and the apparatus of film making,


She studied Visual Arts in MAUMAUS - School of Visual Arts. She received her MA in Fine Arts from Malmö Art Academy in 2009 and currently she is studying for her PhD in Fine Arts at the University of Évora.
