Cristina Nunez
Artist, Barcelona, Spain, joined 12 years ago
Someone To Love is Nuñez’s exhibition which was first shown at the Mois de la Photo in Montréal 2011 (“Lucidity. Inward Views”, curated by Anne-Marie Ninacs), with the generous support of the Consell Nacional de Cultura i de les Arts in Barcelona.
Someone To Love was later shown in MS Galería in Madrid (april 2012) and at the gallery H2O in Barcelona (July-August 2012). The next venue will be Luova Gallery in Helsinki (October-December 2012).
Someone To Love got over 2350 visitors at SKOL Centre des Arts Actuels in Montreal. The exhibition consists of over 200 images of different formats, on a two level installation to form a sort of “lifeline”, a diaporama and a video-interview. The images show for the first time a most of the self-portraits produced by the artist in 23 years since 1988, when she started to work with the camera to give herself an uncompromising gaze. This technique allowed her to create a very effective instrument to penetrate her deeper self and to ellaborate her method The Self Portrait Experience®. The method is intimately related to her artistic work: Nuñez considers that “the existing separation between art and therapy is intollerable.”
