Rafael Alejandro López is a Venezuelan-Swiss filmmaker and graphic designer, based in Los Angeles.
Raised between countries in seemingly perfect opposition, Lopez’s personal work explores flawed political systems and the duality of the human condition. Through the lens of human experiences, Lopez’s aesthetic oscillates between absurdism, fiction and realism.
Heavily influenced by Nina Menkes' mentoring, López’s approach to filmmaking strives to combat the pre-established patriarchal norms of mainstream visual language by centering humanity over entertainment within and beyond the frame.
Their most recent film work "Ghosts In You" won awards internationally, and was presented at the Museum of Art and Design in NYC during fashion week 2024.
