Isabel Muñoz - S/T
Artist Biography: For more than forty years, Isabel Muñoz has traveled the world with her camera portraying the feelings of human beings in their purest state. His gaze has come to capture an infinite number of themes: the dignity of primitive tribes and violence in prisons; the sensuality of dance and the denunciation of oppression; the ecstasy that accompanies extreme suffering and pain that is impossible to overcome. The Catalan artist has photographed practically all the feelings and emotions that the human species harbors, including those of our ancestors. In 2016 she was recognized with the National Photography Award in Spain, having previously obtained prestigious awards such as the World Press Photo 1999 and 2004, the Bartolomé Ross Award, the Unicef Award, the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 2009, the Community of Madrid Award, among others. In 2018 she was one of those invited by the Friends of the Prado Foundation to reflect on the artistic and historical richness of the museum, creating two exclusive pieces for its collection. She has recently been elected a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in the New Arts of the Image Section.
Isabel Muñoz reveals the telluric archeology of feelings in the oldest symbolic constructions known to date. Places that were inhabited more than eleven thousand years ago have brought to light, after recent excavations, archaic structures of circular shapes with animal, abstract and even anthropomorphic ornamentation. In this remote land still seems to inhabit the magical thought of the enigmas of our species. Isabel Muñoz translates the still unknown meaning of those mysterious rituals into images charged with sensuality. These works, made during the night under the light of the firmament and the help of electric torches, externalize graphics and textures that are impossible to detect under the light of the sun. The result is disturbing, beautiful, almost spectral. This work has been possible thanks to the Spanish Ambassador to Turkey, Javier Hergueta, Professor Necmi Karul and the Director of the Pera Museum in Istanbul, Özalp Birol.
