Regina de Miguel develops an interdisciplinary practice that brings together different artistic languages (expanded cinema, sound installation, performance, photography, painting, and literary writing ) with scientific and research-based methodologies drawn from fields as diverse as astronomy, sociology, history, and cultural anthropology. The discursive thread running through her work is a critical analysis of the normative objectivity of scientific representational devices and the conditions under which knowledge is produced: a sustained interrogation of who looks, from where, and what falls outside the field of vision of science.
Working from a methodical approach, De Miguel constructs complex networks of connections nourished by the philosophy of science, ecofeminism, speculative fiction, and horror, generating theoretical, existential, and poetic displacements in which fragility operates as a form of resistance. Her installations combine footage filmed in remote locations (ecosystems in crisis, landscapes of extraction) with elaborate sound compositions, creating environments in which the viewer is enveloped by forces that exceed the human scale. The result is a body of work that moves between the documentary and the poetic, between scientific precision and mythic evocation.
