Gema Polanco
"In front of the photograph of my mother as a child, I tell myself: She is going to die: I shudder over a catastrophe which has already occurred. Whether or not the subject is already dead, every photograph is this catastrophe." Roland Barthes My Photography is about memory, time, lost and desire. Searching into the relations between the different member of my family and myself in order to explore the world we live in today with the obsessions, and expectations that creates a painful game in which I try to link the fragments of a complex reality that has been building during three generations of my family. I have always use self-portrait in order to discover who am I and to question the viewer who they are. My Spanish background and its history has always been presence in my work as I've seen how the current situation has affected all my close relatives.
