“My work is a mixture of apathy, courage and desperation. In order better represent the political issues of the society, I had created the fictional figure of Lady Kunst.“

Jacqueline Delaye has a multidisciplinary background based in social studies and arts. She studied Social Anthropology in Mexico city. Cinema and Tv in Barcelona and Art and Culture Management in Paris. She worked as a video artist and documentary filmmaker around Europe.

After living in different countries like USA, England, France, Spain, Italy and México Jacqueline moved to Berlin, Germany her home since 15 years.

in 2019 she moved for 4 years to the archipelago Azores, on the island of Sao Miguel, in order to take the inspiration of nature. Now she came back to the great city of Berlin to keep breathing the inspiration of human society.

I started in the art world when I was 19 years old. I had already taken photography courses and I was amazed by the visual and social part of the city where I lived, Mexico City, full of contrasts in both socioeconomic and visual aspects. I wanted to show the world the reality in which the lower class of Mexicans live, a place between hope and death. For this reason I decided to take the camera as my means of expression. I had the opportunity to work in different commercial audiovisual productions (advertising, independent films).

At the age of 21, I went to the city of Barcelona to do my audiovisual studies where I had the opportunity to be inspired by the best independent filmmakers and artistic currents. My work is a mixture of apathy, courage and desperation. In order better represent the political issues of the society, I had created the fictional figure of Lady Kunst.

For me life is a film in which we are all protagonists.

My work focuses on political, social and commercial aspects. As a Mexican, I could not close my eyes to social injustices and corruption, especially in the area of politics.

Art is revolution
