Their work is their research practice. Known for refusing any finite definition of ‘the document,’ Vida proposes working from within the interstices of polyvalent, errant, and porous mediums. Holding collectivity as basis, their filmic and literary compositions tend to an ethos that is both starkly materialistic, and superstitious. Their first short film, ‘El Régimen del Mirar”(2024), was co-produced at the UnionDocs Co-Lab, and co-devised with ‘undocumented’ women from the Latin American diaspora in Lenape land, or the NYC neighborhood of Williamsburg.
“I invite those who engage with my work to move beyond single narratives, by not only embracing multiplicity and diversity, but by expanding the fabric of the document itself and granularly endow forms of dissent with potency: here, according to Colectivo Situaciones, is where alternative sociabilities emerge from. Whether through pedagogy, prose, media work, or performance, I am interested in methods of summoning such past-present-futures in the face of neo-fascism and old/new régimes of oppression.”
