Chino Moya

Madrid-raised London resident, self-taught Chino Moya, takes a multidisciplinary approach to his work. He combines filmmaking and photography to explore themes of collapsing utopias, loneliness and the decline of traditional masculinity often employing dark and absurd humour. Moya’s dystopian narratives address failed models of society, the self-inflicted nature of human problems, and the illusion of progress, tackling detachment and dehumanization in contemporary life.

Recent exhibitions of Chino Moya’s work include ‘Decoding the Black Box’ at Museum Stadt Sindelfingen (Germany), Espacio SOLO and the MMMAD Digital Art Festival (Spain), Steinhauser Gallery (Slovakia), and the 2024 edition of Voltaje Festival (Colombia), where his video installations were showcased. His large-format photographs have appeared at the DongGang International Photo Festival (Korea), and he held a solo exhibition at Pocko Gallery (London). In November 2024, he will exhibit at Digital Witness at LACMA. Moya’s debut feature film, Undergods (2021), funded by the British Film Institute and Ridley Scott’s company, premiered in US and UK cinemas, receiving recognition from The Guardian, The New York Times, and the BBC.
