Pedro Neves Marques

Filmmaker, visual artist and writer, Pedro Neves Marques’ work employs science fiction and dystopia as a lens through which to explore ideas of anthropology and nature. Their practice sits across both narrative films and short stories, and theoretical essays focused on art, anthropology and cinema. The artist is particularly interested in notions of ‘cosmopolitics’, robotics and ecology, with films centring on subjects such as plant transgenics in Brazilian plantations – in The Pudic Relation Between Machine and Plant, (2016) – and, in Aedes Aegypti (2017), genetically modified mosquitoes, developed in the UK and deployed to seduce and combat the invasive, disease-spreading species of the same name.
