Adrián Balseca Carrillo (Quito, 1989) is an Ecuadorian research-based artist and filmmaker who works between Argentina and Ecuador.

His work focuses on specific environmental issues across various territories, employing a range of media including installation, film, photography, and archival materials. By navigating the space between ethnofiction and documentary, he explores economic agendas related to extractivism. Through his research process, Balseca uncovers hidden histories intertwined with the dynamics of late capitalism, while simultaneously dismantling colonial symbols and raising a call for the restoration and healing of nature.^[1]

His work has garnered several awards and recognitions, including the Honorable Mention^[2] at the 14th Cuenca Biennial: Living Structures. Art as a Plural Experience (Cuenca, 2018); the Han Nefkens Foundation Video Art Production Award^[3] from Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Quito (Quito, 2018); 2015 CIFO^[4] Grants & Commissions Program (Miami, 2015); and the Paris Award^[5] at the 12th Cuenca Biennial: Leaving to Return (Cuenca, 2014).
