AnaMary Bilbao is a Portuguese-Spanish visual artist born in Lisbon (Portugal).
She works across a range of different media including photography, drawing, sound, and moving image. Through the combination of these elements, she often seeks to start fictional narratives that put into question the idea of a single truth. As Bilbao states, “there is no truth beforehand, only connections, interruptions, and incompleteness.”
Her work has been recently exhibited at Galeria Avenida da Índia / Galerias Municipais - EGEAC (Lisbon), Photo Basel (Basel), International Studio & Curatorial Program (New York), Field Projects (New York), Paris Photo / Curiosa (Paris), MAAT – The Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (Lisbon), Opening Arco Madrid (Madrid), Leal Rios Foundation (Lisbon), PLMJ Foundation (Lisbon), among others. Bilbao's videos have been screened in venues such as Anthology Film Archives (org. Mono No Aware, New York), MoMA - Museum of Modern Art (org. Mono No Aware, New York), Hangar CIA (Lisbon), Novo Negócio - Zé dos Bois Gallery (Lisbon), Batalha Centro de Cinema (org. Contemporânea, Porto), or MAAT (16.ª ed. Fuso, Lisbon).
