Biography
Amulio José Espinosa is a Mexican-Finnish multidisciplinary artist, a nomad of visual arts. In his quest to reveal through film what is hiding from us in plain sight, he has developed a clinical eye that has traveled through different countries and various crafts: dance films, fashion films, music, commercials, tv, and cinema (both documentary and fiction). His two nationalities echo in his work, featured at festivals and exhibitions in Finland, France, Mexico, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, and the USA. His main interest is to explore the boundaries between art disciplines and their relation with everyday life.

Etiäinen: "an image, doppelgänger, or just an impression that goes ahead of a person, doing things the person in question later does.” This audiovisual piece explores the feeling of auto-exiling oneself: leaving behind the loneliness of the city to confront the strange vastness of nature. Living between memories and premonitions of both worlds.
