ELLEN KOOI @ camara oscura galeria de arte

ELLEN KOOI “Elements”
9th February — 20th May 2018

Opening: Friday 9th at 8.00 pm

“Ellen works thoroughly and this is self-evident in the high quality of her brand-new artworks, which develop a new approach to portraiture as a genre. She usually prefers children as her photographed subjects since, as she upholds, “they live the different situations in a purer fashion, uncontaminated by their daily life”. That is the reason why we could say without demur that she succeeds in constructing first-person narratives that talk straight to the viewer. The photographer -the author- stays in the background, something comparable to the attitude of the Hollywood cinematographer inscribed in the dominant “narrative-transparent” model.”
