Bodies, devoid of any material goods, have been a fundamental axis in the work that Nagore Legarreta has been developing throughout her career. The experimental photographic medium is used in the project as a tool to question the systems of subordination that condition us on a personal and collective level (gender, race, social class). Seeking the limits of photography and vindicating artistic freedom as a form of resistance. The work also raises questions related to the power of the visual arts when it comes to creating the imaginary that helps to assimilate or dismantle certain conditioning factors. What would happen if these bodies reveal themselves and decide not to do their job?

Restlessness, movement, strength and clumsiness are the gestures that are distilled from the pieces that we will find in the exhibition. This is the evolution of an investigation that began with the series “Hysteron”, where women’s bodies are fused together using pots and 5-kilo tuna cans as cameras, creating scenarios where union and tension coexist.

In recent years this body of work has evolved towards the gender diversification of the subjects represented and the collectivisation of the reflection on the human condition. The mechanisms used to take the image and the materials used have also diversified (wood, metal, paper, paint,…) creating unique pieces in their printing and construction.
