End, Three Prologues
End, Three Prologues brings together three interconnected stories that approach the idea of an ending from different perspectives. Moving between the Arctic landscape, the final pages of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, and reflections on disappearance, memory, and language, Dora García creates an experimental meditation on extinction and the limits of human knowledge. The film connects ecological, literary, and personal forms of disappearance, questioning what remains when a story, a landscape, or a language reaches its end.
DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY - Dora García
Dora García (born 1965, Valladolid, Spain) is a Spanish contemporary artist and filmmaker whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses experimental film, video, performance, installation, and text. Her work explores the boundaries between reality and fiction, often examining questions of control, freedom, identity, and the relationship between performer and audience. García studied Fine Arts at the University of Salamanca and at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Since the late 1990s, she has developed a body of work that frequently combines scripted situations, performance, and moving image. Her films include The Breathing Lesson (2001), The Deviant Majority (2010), The Joycean Society (2013), Segunda Vez (2018), and Amor Rojo (2024). Her work has been presented internationally at major exhibitions and festivals, including the Venice Biennale, documenta, Manifesta, and the Sydney and São Paulo Biennials. In 2011, she represented Spain at the 54th Venice Biennale. In 2021, she was awarded Spain’s National Award for Plastic Arts in recognition of her innovative and interdisciplinary artistic practice.
