OJOBOCA is a Berlin-based artist duo formed by Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy. Their artistic practice is focused on experimental film and expanded cinema, exploring the intersection of myth, history, and technology. Their works often draw on cultural myths and archetypes to create otherworldly atmospheres that challenge the boundaries of traditional narrative structures. They call their working method Orrorism, which they define as an approach to filmmaking that seeks to subvert the manipulative power of images and create a communal experience of cinema that operates on the unconscious.
Through the use of devices such as narration and the trance state, Orrorism aims to challenge the authority of the film machine and create a space where the communal can exist beyond the structures of power. In essence, Orrorism is an attempt to use the power of film to disrupt dominant cultural narratives and create a space for collective exploration and self-reflection.
Since 2010, OJOBOCA has created a series of experimental films, installations, and performances that have been screened at film festivals and art venues worldwide, among them the Museum of the Moving Image, ICA London, Wexner Center for the Arts, Österreichische Filmmuseum, Anthology Film Archives, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Kunstverein München, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Berlinale, International Film Festival Rotterdam and New York Film Festival.
Their work is also known for its innovative use of analog film techniques which they continue to develop as members of the artist-run film lab, LaborBerlin.

OJOBOCA is a Berlin-based artist duo formed by Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy. Their artistic practice is focused on experimental film and expanded cinema, exploring the intersection of myth, history, and technology. Their works often draw on cultural myths and archetypes to create otherworldly atmospheres that challenge the boundaries of traditional narrative structures. They call their working method Orrorism, which they define as an approach to filmmaking that seeks to subvert the manipulative power of images and create a communal experience of cinema that operates on the unconscious.
Through the use of devices such as narration and the trance state, Orrorism aims to challenge the authority of the film machine and create a space where the communal can exist beyond the structures of power. In essence, Orrorism is an attempt to use the power of film to disrupt dominant cultural narratives and create a space for collective exploration and self-reflection.
Since 2010, OJOBOCA has created a series of experimental films, installations, and performances that have been screened at film festivals and art venues worldwide, among them the Museum of the Moving Image, ICA London, Wexner Center for the Arts, Österreichische Filmmuseum, Anthology Film Archives, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Kunstverein München, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Berlinale, International Film Festival Rotterdam and New York Film Festival.
Their work is also known for its innovative use of analog film techniques which they continue to develop as members of the artist-run film lab, LaborBerlin.
