LAURA MARTORELL

I conceive of my artistic practice as a way of becoming aware of the world I live in, reflecting on and questioning my experiences and my context. I am interested in transforming what I see: turning it around, dismantling it, distorting it, displacing it or breaking it apart. Through these actions, I seek to destabilize what we take for granted, challenge established conceptions and ideas, and open up new ways of looking at and understanding what surrounds us.

This approach takes different forms across my projects. Memory, the passage of time, the construction of space, the idea of shelter, and representations of beauty and spirituality are some of the areas through which I develop these transformations. In each case, I start from an image, an object, a space or an idea, altering it in order to generate another perception of it.

I approach this common thread from different perspectives, using different languages and techniques according to the needs of each proposal. I work with sculpture, installation, photography and other resources that allow me to develop this transformation formally.
