Alejandro Ferrandiz (b. 2003) traces rhythm at the periphery of the unremarked. He notices a certain power repetition has to reveal language, gesture and social choreography. Growing up between South Orange, New Jersey and Alicante, Spain, he recognized a strange coordination in suburbia and the collective movement of bodies, machines, infrastructures and the movements within it.

Much of his work is grounded in spaces that hum—train stations, malls, supermarkets—all define an experience of life shaped by exchange, mechanization and (un)belonging. These transitory spaces of impermanence become the settings of his work, curating a theater of refusal—often looking at the periphery of the unremarkable.

​

Through purposeful and accidental discovery, his work moves through documentary and narrative, analog and digital, sound and image, most comforted by what gathers in between—the folds, the stink, the pause. His experience with video and new media is rooted in an experimental, material-based approach to film, photo, and sound, working across hybrid analog-digital workflows, treating film as a binding agent.

​

In his work, repetition reveals language, gesture, and social choreography. There is a real beauty in the static: a stage for desire, an opportunity to disrupt routine and examine how the body, memory, and image interact.
