3rd place

Behind this curtain of hair one hides more than one history where it has been constructed and reinforced by an intimacy and complicity.
For me it is not only a photography, is the united force that we have made to do of this our home, therefore it is an honor to me that this work has been selected and to be in a contest so respected. Thank you, is one step closer to my dream.
The photo is composed by a Nikon D5000, a 50mm lens and flash. The location it is in our room and at the moment of take the picture only I did a one capture - for the complicity of both -.



Barbara Traver

Bárbara Traver (b. 1992) is a contemporary artist and analog photographer based in London, UK.

Working with analog photography, text and archival materials, his multidisciplinary practice is an investigation of the obscurities and idiosyncrasies of the mundane, as overlooked everyday objects. For her, creation in relation to daily and through the individual with his environment is like a mirage that reveals itself in a subtle and suggestive way. Fascinated by observing and recording everyday encounters and paradoxes, using photography as a catalyst for his imagination; the camera as a tool to make sense of the world. Research, execution and intervention is part of his process and is closely intertwined with numerous artistic references and philosophical readings. Recurring themes and interests are memory, identity, tactility and fiction. Her style is a domestic style. Not necessarily homemade or amateur, just domestic. A style that mixes the intimate and the daily, the informal and the affective.
