biography:
«Daniela Franco was born in Mexico, she lives in Paris. She obtained a Fulbright Scholarship for an MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute . Her work has been awarded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Fundación Jumex amongst others. A main characteristic of her work is the collaboration with other disciplines. For several years she worked on video, mainly on editing. Her videos use images and sounds from a poetical construction stand, for their form, euphony and rhythm, regardless of their meaning. Daniela Franco’s most recent work is based, formally, in the orchestration of projects in collaboration with writers, musicians, architects, etc. And conceptually, in the creation of fictions through coincidences and the slight alteration of daily life.» (source)
