STATEMENT

 My artistic practice has always been linked to places of passage: spaces and cities that I have temporarily inhabited and in which I have shared spaces with other women who followed trajectories similar to mine. The works I made between 2003 and 2015 were photography projects, and only photography. The series Golden West and Reno (Reno, Nevada, USA); Siwah (Ibiza, Spain) and Raval-Berlin (Barcelona and Berlin, Germany) revolve around the portrait of these nomadic women, whose lives are associated with precariousness, migration and spectacle. These series were ways of approaching a space of images dominated by archetypal representations of the feminine. Against this imaginary, I approached my practice as a playful exercise carried out together with them, in which we played with the re-employment of appearances and social gestures.

My arrival in Mexico City in 2015 marks the beginning of a change of trajectory in the way I approach my practice and, above all, the materials and means of expression.  My work has been moving away from the strictly photographic and I have approached other ways of considering the relationship with the body and the image: thus, I have changed the photo shoot for the workshop or class, the posed for physical work, and photography for the video record of various activities. However, I maintain one of the axes that have defined my work since my first series: a willingness to confront, invert, or simply play with dominant codes that govern our social interaction and determine our positions according to gender.
