Some BTS shots a few days before my show Cuerdas del Manglar (Strings from the Mangrove) at Kinderhook & Caracas opening April 25. I built a cnc router to create 3d holographic imagery of maroon histories from Afro- Ecuadorian communities in Esmeraldas scratched onto metal plates, imagining the shipwreck not as a disaster but as a portal to a new reality. Understanding the world as a multidimensional space built of strings which vibrations connect us to our ancestors no matter the distance in time and space. Come through Berlin 🌱

Piña, ¿por qué el cielo es azul? de Stephanie Comilang y Simon Speiser entrelaza saberes ancestrales y tecnologías emergentes para pensar el futuro desde una perspectiva de memoria, espiritualidad y resistencia. A través del video, la realidad virtual y el textil, la obra sigue a Piña, una inteligencia artificial que encarna la memoria colectiva de comunidades en Filipinas y Ecuador, y que propone nuevas formas de relación entre el pasado y el porvenir.
Comilang, artista filipino-canadiense reconocida con el Sobey Art Award, y Speiser, artista ecuatoriano-alemán con exposiciones en instituciones como el MMK Frankfurt, CAC Quito y MMCA Seúl, desarrollan aquí una obra que conecta territorios, memorias y futuros posibles a través del arte contemporáneo.

I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to show my film NAUFRAGIO LIBERADOR (Liberating Shipwreck) on the screen of @piccadillylights as part of the @circa.art prize as one of its 30 finalists! It has been an amazing journey developing the film and touring it to different places. It’s currently showing in full length at the @bienalamazonias in Belem Brazil. I want to thank everyone who helped make this film a reality: starting with @d_ante20 who helped produce it, to my father @remigiotapiaramirez who narrates, to @mobilegirl who provided the soundtrack, to @yuliana_ortiz_ruano who inspired the concept of the film. And of course to the interviewees Marino Guarin, Arquimedes Simisterra Hurtado, @khrystelortiz and Juan Montaño. To Daniel Ayala and Johnathan Mayorga Montilla for the camera work. And last but not least my daughter @lott3_ameli8 who contributed a drawing for the film, my mum @speiser.sabine and my wife @stephaniecomilang for being so fabulous and supportive! What a dream!
#CIRCAPRIZE2025 🏹 @simonspeiser
“As a German-Ecuadorian artist, I like to bridge between various media, merging concepts of nature, technology and spirituality, from writing to virtual reality, mechatronics to textile-work and printmaking. My works explore themes of origins and the interplay between elemental and technological worlds. ”
After receiving 1,000 submissions, the thirty shortlisted finalists were selected by CIRCA in collaboration with the 2025 Curators’ Circle including @amalandaplan@drabl and @samanthaozer
👩🏽⚖️ A prestigious jury made up of previous CIRCA artists and long-time collaborators including Björk, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Edward Enninful, Michèle Lamy, Ebony L. Haynes, Alvaro Barrington, Nicoletta Fiorucci, Josef O’Connor, Norman Rosenthal and Catherine Wood will select one artist to receive £30,000 and realise a major new public commission premiering in 2027.
🗳️ An online public vote, powered by @piccadillylights , will grant an additional £10,000 to the artist with the most votes.
📆 Save the date. The winners will be announced during a LIVE! 30-minute Award Ceremony in Piccadilly Circus on Monday, 13 October at 8pm BST. Don’t miss it!

Faltam poucas semanas para a 2ª Bienal das Amazônias abrir as portas em Belém (29 de agosto a 30 de novembro), e seguimos apresentando os artistas que transformarão a cidade em um território de escuta, arte e imaginação.
Rubén Barrios Rodríguez (Colômbia) – Explora gênero e corporeidade com objetos cotidianos, criando narrativas queer e críticas às normas hegemônicas.
Silvana Mendes (Brasil) – Cria contra-imagens que afirmam corpos negros, reconfigurando memória, raça e território em fabulações visuais.
Simon Speiser (Alemanha) – Une cosmologias não ocidentais, ficção científica e tecnologia para imaginar futuros híbridos e sensoriais.
Simón Uribe (Colômbia) – Geógrafo e cineasta que investiga como o poder molda paisagens amazônicas, cruzando etnografia, arquivo e cinema.
Tawna (Equador) – Coletivo indígena e mestiço que cria obras audiovisuais e rituais em processos comunitários, unindo arte, militância e cosmologia.
A 2ª Bienal das Amazônias tem curadoria de Manuela Moscoso (chefe), Sara Garzón (adjunta), Jean da Silva (programa público) e Mónica Amieva (pedagógica). 🌊💚
