Artists
Pilar Albarracín (1968, Seville, Spain) is one of the key figures in the renewal of artistic languages that took place in Spain from the 1990s. Her work, loaded with symbolism and the result of deeply analysing identity and social problems, moves away from the traditional forms of painting and sculpture, and incorporates photography, video, installation and performance as means of questioning culture, gender and inequality. Through humour and irony, her pieces explore the complexities of human beings and their relation to the world, defending a modernity that breaks down geographical, social, religious and gender boundaries. In this context, folklore, religion and the duality between life and death intertwine to reflect on the limits and tensions of our existence.
