Written By Barbara Traver

Bárbara Traver expone sin pudor la relación ambigua con la Madre. Su proyecto «, te quiere, mamá» busca la clave entre la dicotomía de inculcar a la hija unos valores propios y otorgar la independencia necesaria para la creación de la mujer que ha de ser. Entre el amor y el dolor por conciliar la relación materno-filial, la artista se embarca en la factura de retratos íntimos de ambas en donde el anhelo por romper el lazo con el útero materno muestran al mismo tiempo la vinculación primigenia a la que todas estamos sometidas.

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.
