Eli Cortiñas’ practice is centered around the idea of challenging cinematic memory through analyzing and re-editing pre-existing footage and merging it with her own film, video and sound recordings. By first collecting, organizing and classifying the sourced material, the artist then reworks and reimagines the found film, YouTube, advertising or animation footage in a next step, disrupting and re-structuring narrative flows.
