About Carmen Aguado Espinosa

Her work develops around portrait, using the staging as a symbolic representation.

A search to represent the female world and its links, beyond its outside looks.

Images of beautiful appearance, that hide uncomfortable qualities. That is her border territory.

She works with concepts like life and death, the transit, the not-seeing, the uncertainty and synchronicity.

In order to do that, she experiences with the lighting, emulsions and altered colors when revealing the pictures as a continuation of her pictoric formation.

She uses the analogic support as a physical medium to allow chance, errors, the context and the discarding to intervene, hence she doesn’t edit or manipulate the photogram.

Intuition and emotion drive the process of the image to the final result, where it acquires new layers of meaning obtained during the performing.

All of these phases of transformation are the ones that allow the image to become a poetic object.
