Translations:Liliana Porter/7/en

In her work, Porter creates collages, photographs, installations and videos in order to create new visual universes, with influences ranging from Lichtenstein to the Guerrilla Girls. She explores a huge variety of techniques to transform everyday objects — such as toys and unusual ornaments that she finds in antique shops or flea markets — into objects brimming with meaning, living objects that set emotions and thoughts in motion among spectators. “Everything has the potential to be profound or banal, sinister or innocent, hideous or beautiful. I’ve always been interested in the simultaneity of what appears to be opposing and irreconcilable, because I feel increasingly that this perception lies in how objects are read, and not entirely in the objects in themselves”.
