Carmen
I was born in Seville but I spent my
childhood in different cities of mainland and island Spain. I took up
photography for love. Different loves have gone by, different professions, different
cities... but my passion for pictures has remained. When I started to work with
colour, in 1983, I knew what I wanted to do: I can't imagine my work without
colour and I couldn't express myself without it. In that same year I had a
radio programme called "La Cámara Lúcida". In 1984 I organised the
Jornadas de Fotografía Creativa and I founded the Guadalquivir Photogallery.
Since then I've participated in numerous collective and individual exhibitions.
Among the collective are CURRENT SPANISH PHOTOGRAPHY organised by the late Paco
Molina in Seville in 1985, SEVILLA X 15, book and exhibition in the Museo de
Arte Contemporáneo de Seville in 1991, ARTE + SUR, in the Galería Suroeste in
Granada (1995), BODEGONES (Still lives), El SEXO MANDAMIENTO (The Sexth
Commandment) and RELACIONES PUBICAS (Pubic Relations) in the galleria Felix
Gomez in Seville (1995, 1998 and 2000); of my individual exhibitions, one of
the most special for me is the exhibition organised by the IVAM, when Carmen
Alborch was the director, for the Institute de la Mujer in Valencia (1988),
another in Galería Ventana Abierta in Seville in 1994 and in Sala Martin
Iglesias en Seville, 1998, also very special for me is the double exhibition in
the Passage de Ayamonte early in the year 2000. I've been invited to give
conferences and participate in round tables and discussions, I've collaborated
with publications for the Seville Expo'92 and many of my photographs have been
published in books and portfolios in different magazines. I have works in
private collections, galleries and public institutions. Recently I've
collaborated with my sister Pau in the exhibition 6x6, in the intervention
DENTRO DE CONTEXTO, and in the exhibition EL DEDO EN LA LLAGA, all in Seville.
I've tried to win a prize in her Bad Photography Competition, but I've never
managed it because it's rigged and her boyfriend always wins.
In Internet I’ve
published a picture in scanner cultural, I’m a virtual exhibition in artecenter and I’m in the ex
webis artists gallery, and in foto3
