Chino Moya

Chino Moya is a Spanish artists that works and lives in London. 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.

He has video work currently on show at Digital Witness in Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Recent shows include Decoding the Black Box at the Museum Stadt Sindelfingen, Germany, the arts and technology fair Voltaje in Bogotá, Colombia and After Human at Steinhauser Gallery, Slovakia and Handle with Care at SOLO Independencia, Madrid. His large-format photographs have appeared at the DongGang International Photo Festival (Korea), and he held a solo exhibition at Pocko Gallery, London. 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.
