La Odisea / La Odisea
I start from the historical experience of women in the arts and the conflicts lived in a historical process that reaches until today, and taking as a reference the atmospheres and themes of the Pre-Raphaelite style of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; whose counterpart was in the movement of women artists who revolutionized nineteenth-century art in England, many of them photographers.
With the references in the "Pictorealism" y el "Mythology of the Sirens" mentioned for the first time by Homer (VII century B.C.), according to the latter, if a man is able to resist the voice of a siren she must die when she is ignored and defeated. The play "La Odisea" is about me and many women "those who bind and unbind/chain", fish-women of great beauty and with a precious voice, who have always been the wife, the daughter, the muse or the lover "de", but never women with a voice. Photography with a staged and symbolic narrative, with no intention of literalism. More akin to a personal vision born of the need to connect the human with reality and the divine.
