“Elena Lopez Riera: Those Who Desire”
Running now through May 27
Riera’s films depict a poetic representation of
individuals and settings within Southern Spain, her
native coastal. “Those Who Desire,” is about a male
subculture who is devoted to raising and training
homing pigeons for competition. In a pigeon race, the
winner is not the fastest bird but the male pigeon with
the ability to chase and conquer a single female bird.
While capturing the animal world, Riera also explores
the masculinity of those who train these animals that
further shape the “colombicultura” and the overall
community.
Elena López Riera (Spanish, b. 1982). Los que desean (Those Who Desire), 2018 (still). Digital video. 24 minutes.
