ALEJANDRA DE LA TORRE - A Friday afternoon in 1993
Artist Biography:
Starting from my own experience of attachment to my possessions, I began to investigate the links that people develop with the objects that surround us, the need to retain and the limits between possession and obsession, being particularly interested in the limit established between what is considered normal and what is unhealthy and rethinking the parameters that delimit one thing from the other. From this personal experience, I began to deal with the subject in a more general way, focusing mainly on everyday acts related to different forms and motives of accumulation, from the preservation of memories to others such as collecting. Currently, in addition to using the link with the object as the central theme of my work, I use it as a narrative element to talk about and deal with other issues that interest me, such as precariousness among young people or gender inequality, to give some examples. Attachment, accumulation, fear of emptiness, obsession, the concept of possession and memory are key words in my work.
