Synopsis

“A Doll’s House” is a documentary short film highlighting the work of multidisciplinary artist Alfonso Muñoz Alma. This documentary focuses on the LGBTQ+ community and women as foundational elements in Alfonso’s life and work. From an early age, Alfonso found an ally, protector, and source of inspiration in his mother, creating an environment that allowed him to question the world around him through his imagination as a queer child. His childhood was marked by the creation of dollhouses and fantastical scenes using objects found in the trash. His ability to rethink found objects within spaces translates, in adulthood, into a reinterpretation of heteronormative visual culture in his art. Through his work, Alfonso challenges the narrative of our visual culture by introducing Puerto Rican women and LGBTQ+ figures into the pictorial and narrative spaces of traditional art, which are usually dominated by men.
