Description
Additional Info.

Dr Amaia Salazar (Spain, 1992) uses a critical and analytical approach to investigate how different symbolic and emotional experiences deepen the study of human cognition.

Interested in studying behavioural concepts from an anthropological, historical, and sociological perspective, her artistic point of view allows us to pinpoint the origins of our thoughts – from the moment they are perceived from our senses to the way our mind interprets and transforms them into behaviours, beliefs, and feelings.

Dreams, nightmares, illusions, and hallucinations are all part of our collective imagination, which are affected by cultural and social biases in our attempt of explaining them. Concepts such as the magical, the mystical, the mysterious all have a scientific and historical basis that Amaia tries to deconstruct/reconstruct through art. By doing so, her objective is to create a new visual panorama, which will enable us to delve into the understanding of common but little-known phenomena and give them visibility through art.

Amaia’s artworks are always based on artistic practice and research that are depicted and expressed through medium of photography. In recent years, she has also relied on different media types such as installations, videos, or state-of-the-art experimental techniques that allow us to directly experience the analysed perceptions.
