Once / Cristina Fontsare
“The title Once, recalling the distant "Once upon a time", is established as the beginning of a story.
A narrative of photographic images that, more than describing, evoke the enigmas of childhood
with the elasticity of an intimate diary. Intrigued and fascinated by a daily life starring little Red Riding
Hoods, princesses and fairies of the forest, the artist invokes an imaginary world that can only exist
through its agreement with fction, where the game itself is more real than reality. In this solitary and
self-absorbed children's paradise, the visual metaphors reveal a stage tinged with melancholy, or
suspension of a time we all deeply yearn for. While models evade the tension of their own bodies,
gestures and looks, Fontsaré's works venture the incipient metamorphosis of girls into women, with
a staging of the sensory and secret universe of childhood. The nostalgic, oniric and pictorialist aspect
of Polaroid technique reinforces this artistic exploration of the transience of life, and an almost
sociological work, full of invisible nuances, that captures the beauty and fragility of the passage from
childhood to maturity. The intuitive vision that Fontsaré directs towards the unfathomable of
childhood manages to revive it in the eyes, and make visible what, from childhood, persists in the
depths of our eyes”.

Cristina Fontsare
Cristina Fontsare was born and raised in Barcelona where she studied Fine Arts and Landscape Architecture. She completed her studies in London and Paris. She is interested in the narrative sense of photography, that frozen moment that allows an ambiguous narrative. That intermediate moment which gives place to the spectator to create his own story, to compose his own mental images, recreating a separate sphere constructed in between a shared reality and an imaginary world.
