Biography

Pilar Albarracín's performances, sculptures, textiles, videos and photographs explore the traditions, rituals and symbols of popular and vernacular Andalusian culture. From flamenco to bullfighting, the artist uses ridicule and irony to deconstruct the image of 'Spanishness', the construct of a supposedly common cultural, political and social identity. Transgressive, her work creates spaces for feminist claims, raising awareness of power relations and the shortcomings, absences and prohibitions of a patriarchal society.
