Las Hormonas del Sueño (melatonin mix)
Tomás Orrego (1991) is a Peruvian audiovisual producer and musician with studies in architecture. Spanning animation, video editing, collage, sound design and installation, his work touches in a very idiosyncratic way the construction of male hetero sexuality and the disruption of innocence. Through the use of free association, these themes are approached and explored in an irrational way, eschewing logic and embracing the drowsy consciousness of dreams.
His animated short film Las Manos Que Ríen (2018) obtained Best Direction and Oustanding Artistic Achievement at the Insólito Festival de Cine de Terror y Fantasía and first place in the Made in Peru section at the Festival Al Este de Lima. His latest video work, Justine, was screened as part of the Festival Internacional de Arte & Cine Queer in the El Fanny Cine Continuo cycle in Bogota, Colombia.
He has participated in exhibitions such as Verbo 15a mostra de performance arte in Galeria Vermelho in Sao Paulo, Brazil, #2: Generación Y in Y Gallery Lima and Unfinished Hase in Alte Handelsschule in Leipzig, Germany. In 2019, he had his second solo exhibition called Justine at Fundación Euroidiomas. In addition to this, he has participated in residency programs in Germany and Colombia.
Moreover, his work also extends to more commercial venues, having produced video clips for bands such as Liquidarlo Celulloide, Autobus and Mold! while also designing and animating live visuals for DJ sets.
He currently lives in Boston, taking part in the MFA Film and Media Art program at Emerson College.
