Mario Enrique Briño Alvarez (Havana, 1998) currently works actively in the production and development of video mapping as part of theater plays, among which we can mention Intimidad (2023); Kilómetro Cero o Medea (2022) and Player (2021). For his professional improvement, among other courses, he attended the DeepFake Workshop in 2022 and the Workshop on Image Hybridization Techniques: 3D Scanning and Photogrammetry in 2019. Both were taught by experimental artist Thomas Hochwallner at the Laboratory of Art and Technology (LAT), Ludwig Foundation of Cuba. He held his solo exhibition Un solo rey es el que gobierna a un pueblo (2017) in Havana and has about fifteen group exhibitions to his credit, including his participations in exhibitions at the Havana Biennial, and the 2nd edition of Puzzle: Repasos al arte joven (2021), at the Galería – Taller Gorría.
«Tapar la luna con un dedo» se conforma por dos obras que cuestiona al espectador sobre su postura frente a los distintos tipos de violencia hacia las mujeres. Está inspirado en una investigación ya existente sobre el tema, con la intención de captar la esencia de los hechos. En el contexto social cubano, el proyecto pretende exponerse en comunidades vulnerables de La Habana Vieja.
The Youth Art Fund (YAF) supports this project with the acquisition of the required technical equipment for the execution of the exhibition, which will contribute to the creative sustainability of the artist by providing him with his own equipment for the creation of his artistic work. Additionally, the YAF team provides accompaniment and methodological advice.
