My name is Aaron Valdez, I grew up in Texas and now live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I make videos about the internet and television for Wreck & Salvage. I like old film, worn out VHS, digital glitches, Precious Moments statues, Tootsie Roll Pops, warm bus rides, long sleeve shirts, and pull-ups. All of my work is available here.

Another screening update. My 2003 film Dissolve playing in the UK. Delicate Matter: experiments with flesh and the analogue. A programme of experimental film curated by Richard Tuohy. It’s the flesh, the touching physicality and tiny inconsistencies in approximation and decay that give the analogue its vitality. The film in this selection, sourced from around the globe, all demonstrate a fascination with the analogue physicality of cine film, with its fragility and its presence, with the vitality of its fleshiness.
