Bio
We are a group of 8 women artists whose travel book is marked by inquiry, pushing the limits of everyday life to communicate issues inherent to the human being and his link with the environment.
Our projects were presented at Usina del Arte, Buenos Aires, Argentina; BAphoto 2020 / 2021, Buenos Aires, Argentina; FOLA, Latin American Photo Library, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Paint Miami 2021; Festival PHOTO ESPAÑA, Madrid, Spain.
Statement
Project ¨Tiempos de Arena” is a fabric between experiences and imaginary stories that proposes a reflection on our complex bond with a nature that is as fierce as it is vulnerable. This project arises from an environmental research trip to Mauritania carried out by the group, at the beginning of 2020.
There they experienced the intensity of the desert, the impetus of the nomads and the resistance of nature. Submerged in its infinite sands, they soon understood that in the desert time passes differently, clocks hardly exist and the wind whispers distant stories.
Returning, they reimagined memories of a virgin desert, summoned their ghostly presences, watched man and nature invade each other, and finally invented their own utopias.
