Cristina Fontsare
Gaell with broken arm - Contemporary, Polaroid, Photograph, Childhood, abstract

2021

About the Item

Gaell with broken arm - 2021 - 38x32cm, Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival Photograph printed in Canson Barita Fiber Rag 340gr, based on a reclaimed Fuji Instant Film Negative (not mounted). Signed on back with Certificate. 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”. (Laura Cornejo / Curator and art writer)
