Hilario Galguera Gallery is pleased to present VIRGINIA SINS. An audacious photographic series that challenges and provokes the limits of the feminine being.
Swedish artist Issa Salliander and American artist/activist Natalie White join forces through a series of photography and video that delves into the nuanced world of female art. The collaboration captures the spirit of female empowerment through an astute play that transgresses the traditional roles of the artist-muse relationship.
The works presented in the format of giant polaroids portray the raw, unfiltered essence of both women. Inspired by the iconic Virginia Slims cigarettes, the artists cleverly play with the seemingly familiar, infusing a bold touch that results in a celebration of the strength and complexity that inhabits women.
The exhibition extends beyond the confines of traditional exhibition spaces to include billboards displaying fragments of the artistic dialogue. These public displays transform the urban landscape into an expansive canvas, inviting people to contemplate the underlying themes in public spaces through provocative images.
One of the key points of the Virginia Sins series is the immersive video installation that will be projected to emulate a kind of performance. It is through this medium that Salliander and White amplify the impact of their discourse, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in the evocative world they have created.
Virginia Sins promises to redefine the boundaries of women's art by challenging preconceptions of femininity and constructing new dialogues on the multifaceted nature of femininity.
